A wide selection of quality, decorative and collectable pieces will be for sale from £50 to £20,000.The ground floor will accommodate good traditional antiques dealers and some contemporary art galleries, while the Lower Ground Floor will be transformed by a dozen specialists in 20th Century and Contemporary pieces, from Arts & Crafts to Modernism, contemporary "installations", Furniture, Jewellery and even film posters!For the first time, Penmans are not imposing any Datelines; however, strict vetting will be enforced, and high quality, originality, craftsmanship, condition and informative labelling will be demanded.Careful vetting ensures the standards that are set are complied with. Visitors are welcome to ask for a copy of the "Standards and Vetting Guidelines" by which rules the vetters work. Exhibitors are very keen to assure visitors of the genuineness of their stock - by which their reputation stands or falls. Indeed, the good standing of the Fair and the reputation of Penman Fairs is pivotal on this vetting. We take it very seriously. Thus visitors can buy with confidence - everything possible has been done to check the genuineness of every item, and the voracity of the labels thereon. Many of the exhibitors are members of BADA and LAPADA, the two Trade Associations which carefully police their members, demanding adherence to a strict code of practice.
