This weekend, Cambridge offers a real treat in Vintage fairs. A 1950's-1970's Vintage Furniture Flea Fair.
Judy Berger has developed 'The VintageFurniture Flea', organising affordable vintage fairs across the UK. The aim is to make vintage accessible to everyone, from first-time shoppers to keen buyers with the eye for a bargain.
Judy specialises in retro furnishings from the fifties to the seventies, and promises ceramics, bold prints and fabrics (my favourite) and many more exciting and signature pieces from the 1950's to the 1970's.
You may recognise the name, Judy Berger, she is also the mastermind behind 'The affordable Vintage Fair', fairs for fashion and fashion accessories. This fair is now available across 20 cities in the UK. Described as a 'relief from the high-street'.
'The Vintage Furniture Flea' makes vintage furniture affordable and accessible to all of us encouraging us to be unique with our home furnishings, furniture and more. It provides an alternative to cheap imitations and the mass production society that Ikea is dragging us towards.
This Saturday, 12th of November, Cambridge will bring you the best of Mid-century Furniture and more. I recommend to look out for tea sets, and dining sets as these will have unique collectable prints that can liven a dinner table and a kitchen display. I will personally have my eye on bold prints, although fabrics of the period are not ideal for Marie V cushions.
Popular items will also include prints and illustrations, these are great to hang on walls and collect. Nick knacks, I don't have a better description for these, but everything from ashtrays to porcelain characters and more treasures to line-up on shelves and mantel pieces.
And finally, something I desire, but could never house, signature furniture pieces from chairs, sofas and sideboards. The polished woods are always beautiful, but the aesthetics would not blend well with my own home. But perhaps something for yours?
