Murrurundi Fair Day - Country Style, Australian Antique & Art Dealers Association Education Day
17th October 2009
In these turbulent times looking to the past becomes very attractive. Antiques, the eco-friendly design of bygone days, with their proven store of value, are emerging as the design darling of the post credit crunch era as antiques shops and fairs experience a resurgence of interest in the decorative arts.
The Murrurundi Fair Day, hosted by Country Style and the prestigious Australian Antique & Art Dealers Association , will see a number of Australia’s leading antique dealers displaying their wares. For design enthusiasts and the style conscious Murrurundi Fair Day is not to be missed. The opportunity to browse through a range of antiques and jewellery exhibits will be complemented by a series of three lectures introducing collectors to some of the important themes in today’s decorative arts and jewellery markets.
