Lady McAlpine says she is now more determined than ever to make the Décor- Architectural architectural salvage event a success after the death of her husband, Sir William, on March 4.
As has been announced in ATG, just for this year the revamped event replaces the SALVO fair and will take place at her home of Fawley Hill, Henley-on-Thames, on June 1-3.
SALVO organiser Thornton Kay – who is taking a year off – asked Lady McAlpine to change the name of the event to avoid confusion with his SALVO website. The name of Décor-Architectural was chosen “to ensure that both trade and public realised that this was still a primary source of architectural salvage”.
