Suffolk Antiques Fair Unites Top Dealers Showcasing Vintage and Antique Treasures

The Aspal Antiques Fair will feature a range of established and start up traders from the antiques sector in the region.  It’s free entry to the public and attracts hundreds of buyers from across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex.

Aspal Antiques – which also operates Aspal Emporium Antiques Centre as well as Aspal Reclamations – is run by Alan Knight and Henrietta Lewis who have developed the business over the past decade attributing its success to being able to offer vintage and antique touches for home and garden refreshes. The business has played host to Drew Pritchard from the TV Series Salvage Hunters who described Aspal Antiques as a ‘real breath of fresh air with products of undeniable quality which are highly affordable’, and the retailer has also had two visits from presenters from the Antiques Road Trip.

Says Alan Knight, ‘We know that the antique buyers and sellers from the region are some of the most discerning in the country, and so we are delighted that the Aspal Antiques Fair has now become a valued part of the Suffolk antiques event calendar.’

‘The visitors who attend the Antiques Fair have commented on the quality of the exhibitors and how they are pleased to have found many and varied collectable items for their homes and businesses.’

‘It is good to see quality is still king and that people are becoming more appreciative of the need to buy and reuse antique and vintage items that will outlast much of today’s modern pieces.’

‘Looking back for statement items is the new interior design movement and we are happy that this development is here to stay.’

‘Stonham Barns Park is now well established as an antiques hub for the region and so we are confident that the Aspal Antique Fairs are good for both traders and the antique buying public – and sustainability!’

Antique pieces are often re-used or up cycled to become a new item of furniture.  It might be that they are incorporated into a table or lampshade or simply painted in a new earthy or bold and vibrant colour.  Antiques are hugely flexible, and items made from oak, cotton, rattan, wicker and metal, sit comfortably side by side in many homes up and down the country.
