Norwich Antiques Market

holds its first fair at its new venue

http://www.inspirationtrust.org/our_schools/sir_isaac_newton_sixth_form/
on Saturday 15 November 2014

Helen Leith, owner of the newly-named antiques fair, said “This is a beautiful
listed building in the heart of the city, with much of its original Art Deco features
still intact – including the fire poles! The recent refurbishment has added a
lot of glass and light and altogether the space will make a lovely backdrop
to the fair.” “The Inspiration Trust has been enormously helpful and welcoming
and we look forward to a happy working partnership for many years to come.”
“The move has been planned for a long time and we felt it was right to have
a new name to accompany our new home, which better reflects what we do.”

Once again, there will be 100 tables of antiques, vintage, retro and collectables, joined by an award-winning cafe under a marquee in the courtyard.
Specialist map and ephemera dealers David and Pam Uden will be offering a playing card depicting the County of Norfolk from the rare first edition Robert Mordern pack produced in 1676. The EDP reported in an article a year ago almost to the day of the fair that a complete pack sold at Sotheby’s for £15,000 against an estimate of £3,500-4,500. The couple acquired the card from a private collection and are asking £650 for it.
