Held in Staffordshire this Saturday (July 15) is the annual Old Hall Collectors’ Club Fair.
Collectors and some of the 200-stong members of the club gather to buy and sell vintage stainless steel tableware manufactured en masse by J&J Wiggin – it was the wedding present of choice for many in the 1960s and ‘70s.
Some of the most sought-after pieces of Old Hall are the Alveston and Campden streamlined tableware ranges designed for Wiggin by Robert Welch, which has plenty of admirers among collectors of work by the best mid-century designers.
