We have been delighted by how well Antiques@TheHolt has gone since the refurbishment work on the hotel was completed in late 2017. The new decor, the fresh colours, and the improved lighting have all been much appreciated.

There are always improvements we can make, and following the fair in March 2018 various tweaks were made to the layout in The Barton Room and also to the middle of Room 2. We no longer accept single-day bookings, so all our dealers attend for both days of the fair ... although still bring in fresh stock for the Sunday!

This page highlights some (but not all) of the dealers who attended in November 2018, and includes images of typical items from their stock. Click on the thumbnails to view enlargements.

If you are a dealer, and would like to know more about booking a table for future events, please Contact us, and we will send you the appropriate information.

Arcadia Antiques - General Antiques, Collectables and Curios
Andrew Long has yet to miss a single Antiques@TheHolt, and we're very appreciative of his unswerving support. He's a hard man to categorise, but he always provides an interesting selection of antiques and curios. Expect something musical, a few clocks, some early C20th ceramics, choice examples of glassware, and items of militaria.

Brook Collectables - Val Sparks
Val Sparks does us proud every time she comes to The Holt, with an impressive array of very tasteful antiques, woodenwares and curios. She also brings some select items of furniture, glasswares and ceramics. Her display beams with beautifully patinated wood, polished brass, the glint of glass, and more often than not, some flowers to highlight the wooden boxes and treen.

Val can be contacted through this website

Andy Briggs - Echo Antiques
Andy has been restoring furniture for nearly 25 years now and will have several examples of his work on display at The Holt, including an Oak cabinet and a Windsor Chair. Other items he has promised to bring include an oak brass-dial longcase clock, some other traditional chairs, a few wine tables, pictures and some brass furniture fittings.

Follow Andy on Twitter, or visit his website.

Mark Ditchburn - Art Deco and Victorian Bronzes, Figures & Ceramics
Anyone who has a passion for the elegance and beauty of the classic Art Deco bronze will instantly appreciate the quality Mark's stock. His stand includes a vast array of genuine period pieces - with flappers, dancers and beautiful nudes supplemented by bronzes of dogs and other animals, as well as choice ceramics from the likes of Wallendorf, Katzhutte, Goldscheider and Hutschenreuther.

Andrew Fleming - Clockmaker, Restorer & Repairer
Based in the Cotswolds just west of Oxford, Andrew is one of the area's foremost repairers and restorers of antique clocks and timepieces. A fellow of the Fellow of the British Horological Institute, Andrew established his workshop some thirty years ago, and now deals in almost everything clockwork, from clocks, toys and music boxes to barometers and barographs.

Peter Forbes - Brass, Door Furniture, Metalwork, Tools & Gentleman's Collectables
Peter Forbes is one of those dealers that everybody knows - not only because he seems to have been around for ever, but because his stock, once seen, is never forgotten. Peter offers genuine antique door furniture, from solid brass knockers, handles and letterboxes, to coathooks, escutcheons and plates. Dotted in among will be a few choice 'Mantiques'.

Glad Bags - General Antiques, Collectables and Vintage Handbags
Gladys Arnott came back to the Holt for both days in November. She always achieves an eye-catching mix of vintage and traditional antiques, with a generous smattering of top quality 'ladies accessories', ceramics, glass, silverwares, pictures and jewellery. Gladys also stands at the monthly Benson fair, organised by Joy O'Meara.

Jean Harwood - Ceramics, Glass, Antiques & Collectables
Jean has been a regular at The Holt since the beginning, and says she wouldn't miss it "for the World", so we're delighted that she's with us again in March, bringing more of her carefully selected items. Among her favourite stock items are pieces of art glass (especially blue-green Mdina), porcelain, prints, paintings, silver, jewellery, platedwares and art pottery.

Paul & Judy Norman - Furniture, Ceramics, Glasswares and Collectables
Paul and Judy are one of the hardest-working dealers on the circuit, stalling out at two or three fairs almost every week. They return to The Holt with another fine selection of period furniture bedecked with fascinating antiques and collectables. Expect small items of furniture, a few writing slopes, some tantali, silverwares, figures, mixed ceramics and some glass.

Mel Osment - Oriental Works of Art and Collectables
We are delighted that Mel joins us again, stalling out beside Mark Ditchburn (as he does at most major fairs across the UK). His array of mainly Oriental works of art is a constant source of wonder, ranging from intricate carvings in jade and ivory, through delicate porcelain and ceramics, to imposing bronzes, wooden carvings and militaria.

Stephen Rees - Collectables
With more than 20 years' experience as a dealer in collectable antiques, Stephen's stall is a treasure trove of the kind of fascinating items that visitors can't walk by without a good "ruttle". Penknives, pieces of treen, militaria, vintage watches, medals, carefully selected ceramics, brassware, silver, leathergoods, lighters, pieces of jewellery, and much more.

Michael & Rosemary Wyber – Jewellery, Ceramics, Pictures & Collectables
Michael and Rosemary will be familiar to many Cotswold-based collectors, who will have encountered their attractively-presented stock at fairs across the region, including the Friday market in Cirencester. Rosemary has a keen eye for decorative items, with "ladies' accessories" vying for attention alongside jewellery, glass & ceramics.

Edwin Woodley – Mixed Antiques & Collectables
Edwin's intriguing stock has always been admired whenever he's appeared at The Holt - and was a particular favourite with Charlie Ross back in 2015. Edwin's eclectic mix includes silverware, ceramics, glasswares, painting & prints, examples of Victorian and Edwardian woodenwork, cut glass and bronze & spelter figures.
