Next up from Cooper Events is the Pavilions of Harrogate Decorative Antiques & Fine Art Fair, from November 17-19 at the Great Yorkshire Showground. The final edition of Cooper’s three annual Harrogate fairs, it hosts a total of 43 dealers.
Among them are Brian Ashbee and Wesley Wotruba, coming armed with around 250 pieces of Burmantofts Pottery. Ashbee has been amassing these works for several years and describes it as “a neglected area of collecting…It has a fascinating history, it’s very colourful and looks stunning in a modern setting, despite being over 100 years old”.
