The world of antiques never ceases to be fascinating. Uncovering ancient and rare objects with their very own obscure and beautiful stories is a very particular thrill. Now, antique fans will get the chance to feel that feeling many times over when the inaugural Sydney Fair makes a triumphant return to the Royal Randwick Racecourse from Thursday May 4 to Sunday, May 7, 2023.
The Sydney Fair has a lot to offer vintage collectors and enthusiasts, with Sydney's best vintage and antiques dealers displaying thousands of rare pieces to view and purchase. Visitors can peruse vintage fashion, jewellery and art, plus antique interior fixtures and Art Deco furniture while they chat to some of the country’s most esteemed dealers.
This year, it's all about unique art pieces with a distinctly royal twist. A large collection of coronation pieces will be on display, including: a rare collection of the royal family’s presentation brooches dating back to 1905; O.G newspaper clippings from coronations gone by, and when the Queen came Down Under back in the '50s; and a rare William IV silver bowl from 1831. There will also be a 1920's headpiece worn by silent movie queen, Lillian Roth, and a fashion exhibition showcasing outfits from all over the world, from Cairo in the '20s to Los Angeles in the '70s.
Tickets will set you back $15 if you're an adult and $10 if you're a concession, and you can book in right here.
