Andy Warhol drawings among the highlights at Mayfair Antiques & Fine Art Fair

9 January 2016

Rare Andy Warhol drawings are among the top ticket items at the Mayfair Antiques & Fine Art Fair, which got underway this week in Grosvenor Square.

This year’s exhibits also include distinctive silver gelatine prints of celebrities and 120-million-year-old Russian ammonites.

Antiques dealer William Cook said it's become such a popular fixture because there is a demand for “different, interesting objects.”

Ingrid Nelson, director of the antiques dealers fair, said: “It’s a real Aladdin’s cave of treasures.

“We get a lot of members of the public who love antiques or who find the event for the first time and are just surprised by the variety here.

“People even fly in from abroad. We've been running this fair for the last three years and we've had people every year coming from Monaco, France and even the Unites States."

Launched in 2013, the event boasts the Westminster Ballroom as its backdrop.

The fair runs until Sunday.
