SWAP SHOP SWELTERS
The latest trade only Swap Shop held at McBains Antiques at the Exeter Airport Antiques Complex in Devon,  drew plenty of industrious traders from a wide area including West Sussex, Warwickshire and Southern Ireland, to bask in the strong sunshine on Tuesday 30 June, 2009. After an early hiccup with the caterer’s van on the A303, everything was in place by 8 am with fifteen lorries lined up. More vehicles arrived as the morning progressed and a large quantity of the stock on display moved around the field with money changing hands or swaps agreed. Trading continued briskly until the last vehicles departed in the early afternoon, some of them more or less empty.  Willie Clegg, a loyal Swap Shop supporter from The Thames Valley Antique Dealers Association passed out invitations to the next Swap Shop at his premises at The Country Seat in Huntercombe, Oxfordshire on 7 July, 2009 from 8 am, organised by TVADA. For full information and directions see www.thecountryseat.com Images show Barry and Annabel members from Isabella Antiques Warminster, Willie Clegg with TVADA Swap Shop invitations and other members of the trade discussing the events of the day.
DORSET DEALERS DELIGHT IN SALE
Delighted to find a rare and exceptional Lamb of Manchester Aesthetic Movement library bookcase for their stand at Olympia International Art and Antiques Fair Patrick Macintosh and Richard Nadin who trade from Courtyard Antiques in Sherborne in Dorset, were overwhelmed with the enthusiastic response to such an imposing piece both from the trade and the public alike, including a leading Philadelphia museum. Following a busy week with sales on every day, the bookcase was sold to a London private buyer for very near the asking price on Saturday. Patrick Macintoshs efforts in burrowing through the University of Exeter cellars had not been in vain... The vendors could not produce the original shelves missing from the interior. but determined Patrick would not be deterred and armed with the provenance of the piece departed for Reed Hall at Exeter University where the bookcase had resided since being commissioned, c 1870, by Richard Thornton West, a wealthy East India Company nabob who owned the vast Italianate mansion then known as Streatham Hall which later became part of Exeter University after his death in 1920. The bookcase had remained in the house until the present day. Mr Macintosh gained entry to the cavernous old cellars after some discussion with the university administrator and was delighted to find the original shelves tucked away behind the Christmas decorations! The exceptional parcel-gilt walnut library bookcase, with carved boxwood portrait roundels “History” and “Poetry” on the panelled doors, was designed by Bruce Talbert for Lamb of Manchester carried a price ticket in the region of £50,000 at the fair, which ran from from 5 – 14 June 2009.
