Whilst the make-up of the Fairs has changed, the experience at the Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fairs has not. Buyers still find it the most inspiring and relaxed antiques event in the UK. Dealers offer interior decorators and private buyers the best design options around for a very individual look.

The mainstay of the Fairs is:
-decorative and painted furniture
-traditional English wood furniture
-Art Deco and post-war modern design
-lighting from 18th century rococo chandeliers to modernist 1960's wall lights
-mirrors from carved & gilded or mirror-framed, to painted over-mantels
-textiles for wall decoration or practical application, rugs and kilims
-upholstered and leather furniture
-garden and outdoor furniture and ornament

Design schemes are also about the personal touch, and the Fair does not omit the needs of collectors of objects from the C17th to C20th, with dealers in:
- sculpture and statuary
- ceramics, porcelain & glass
- oriental antiques and artefacts
- aintings and prints
- kitchenalia and gardening antiques
- collectors' items from snuff boxes to antiquities, from tribal art to toys

But the unique aspect of the Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fairs, and for which it is renowned, is the quirky and the unusual: dealers have a great eye for spotting objects that work as decorative highlights in a home. You might find:
- industrial or factory furniture
- architectural antiques
