In the delightful surroundings of Stapleford Park, the country estate hotel which, itself, boasts a history stretching back to the days of King Arthur, Lincolnshire antique dealers will this month create a veritable treasure trove with objects for sale from a few hundred to tens of thousands of pounds.

The look of the fair is stylish and welcoming with a clever mix of antiques spanning the Georgian and Regency periods alongside the more contemporary art. Combine the informal luxury of Stapleford Park Country House Hotel — a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World — with the elegance and sophistication of the boutique-style fair and the event becomes truly memorable.

The fair is the starting point for interior designers and private buyers seeking that unique look. Antiques dealers have a great knack for spotting quirky and unusual objects that enhance any home. Furniture, jewellery, paintings, sculpture, porcelain, glass and objets d’art are just some of the disciplines to be found at the fair.

Original book illustrations and artwork are very collectable and one of the highlights on Books Illustrated’s stand is the original illustration for the centenary edition of the children’s classic, Wind in the Willows, a watercolour of Ratty and Mole Boating, by Charles van Sandwyk (born 1966) at £4,500. For a piece of local history, Cambridge Fine Art is bringing an oil painting of ‘Ragdale Old Hall, Leicestershire’ which was one of the most important 16th - 17th century houses in the county which was pulled down in 1958. The house was painted by Loughborough artist, William Edward Cooke, in 1884. The painting is priced at £1,650.

There are plenty of different styles of furniture to suit every pocket and taste - for someone looking to entertain in style Freshfords of Bath is bringing a Regency mahogany extending Imperial dining table which can sit up to 16 people. The table was made by Gillow or a similar journeyman working around Lancashire in the 1820s and comes with an excellent provenance; it will set you back £35,000. Other pieces of furniture on Freshfords’s stand are a matching pair of 19th century mahogany drop-end Chesterfield sofas upholstered in burgundy leather, price £15,000.

Good 17th to 19th century oak and country furniture is always popular and Melody Antiques from Cheshire, run by well-known TV antiques expert Mike Melody, has an eclectic range of good 17th to 19th century oak and country furniture such as fine Welsh dressers, ladderback chairs, farmhouse pine kitchen tables along with decorative accessories.

Local dealers in the Leicestershire area exhibiting at the fair include Walter Moores & Son from Market Harborough, who have been dealing in antiques since 1925. Examples of pieces they are bringing include a Georgian mahogany wine cooler at £4,950, and a charming antique woolwork sampler embroidered by Susanna Jones, aged nine, on May 8th 1843 depicting trees, baskets of flowers, birds and animals as well as two buildings which could possibly be Brighton Pavilion. This is marked at £950.

Originally based in Stamford, Vaughan Antiques now has a Newark showroom and their stand includes furniture from the Georgian and Victorian periods as well as a range of jewellery from antique to contemporary.

If diamonds are on your wish list, The Pearl Partnership is bringing a classic two row cultured pearl necklace with a diamond clasp, circa 1925 for £6,900, an ebony and peridot pendant at £1,250 as well as gold diamond cross ear studs for £790 and coloured beads at £880. Insect brooches always fly off the stand and T Robert is bringing an emerald eyed dragonfly brooch, c 1910 for £1,650 as well as an earlier 18 carat gold, sapphire and pearl insect brooch with ruby eyes, c 1895, for £5,500.

The fair’s charity is Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People (www.rainbows.co.uk). Launched in 1994 and based in Loughborough, Rainbows has helped hundreds of children and families. Lunch in the dining room can be booked in advance through the hotel (01572 787000) or casual lunchtime snacks and teas and coffees are available in a marquee outside the Orangery. The hotel has offered the chance to win a complimentary dinner, bed and breakfast in the prize draw which takes place at the end of the fair.
