THE Cotswolds Art & Antique Dealers’ Association has dubbed the sixth edition of its annual fair ‘The CADA Menagerie – Animals in Art and Antiques’. With ongoing tensions over the UK trade in antique ivory, CADA’s decision to give the fair an ‘animals’ theme this year could be seen as gently political.
Particularly so since the association’s chosen cause in 2017 is the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT), a conservation charity focusing on the preservation of wetlands and various species.
