Sanders of Oxford will be exhibiting for the first time at the Thames Valley Antiques Dealers’ Association autumn fair at Radley College near Oxford from 24th to 26th October.

This year the event will have an interior design theme, furniture dealers will be encouraged to create room settings on their stands; fabrics, curtain making services and advice on colour schemes will be available. A large quantity of furnishing fabrics have been donated for the benefit of the Helen & Douglas House Children’s & Young Persons’ Hospice in Oxford and will be on sale at £2 per metre.

TVADA are hoping to raise further funds for the hospice by employing an entertainer to hold a children’s Circus Workshop each day; visiting children will be able to learn a variety of skills including tight rope walking; uni-cycling and juggling, donations made by their parents will be given to the hospice.

The event has attracted more exhibitors than hitherto; counted amongst the most prestigious furniture dealers in the United Kingdom are local experts from Summers Davis of Waliingford, The Country Seat at Huntercombe, Hallidays of Dorchester and new members of TVADA W.R Harvey & Co of Witney. There will be a glorious selection of art on offer; alongside local dealers will be others travelling from as far as Cambridge and Jersey in order to exhibit their paintings & sculpture.
