Antiques for Everyone Winter Fair: the trade show
Antiques for Everyone, the UK’s biggest antiques, interiors and collectables fair outside of London, is one of the most important and comprehensive showcases in Britain for pottery, porcelain and glass collectors and also houses around 250 dealers who will be displaying and selling antique and decorative furniture, treen, ceramics, kitchenalia, silver, glass, jewellery, and works of art, arms and armour, maps, dolls and bears and an array of vintage and decorative collectables.
A stunning display of regimental silver from the British Army’s most battle honoured regiment will form the centrepiece of this winter’s fair. The Soldiers of Gloucester Museum will be bringing silverware, trophies, medals and flags from the Gloucestershire Regiment formed in 1694.
“The Glorious Glosters” was awarded the unique honour of wearing The Back Badge, a cap badge worn on both the front and back of their headdress for gallantry shown when fighting back to back at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. The display will feature items from the last 320 years of the regiment’s history.
The fair’s manager Dan Leyland said: “We are very excited and honoured to be hosting this feature from such an illustrious and historic regiment. There is growing interest in all things militaria and this is particularly timely given that this is the centenary year of the First World War. Regimental silver is particularly important in that each piece has a story to tell.”
