'Art & Antiques Dubai', a premiere event showcasing the best of art and antiques under one roof, will be held in Dubai in February.

 The fair, to be held as part of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), is the latest addition to the ‘Art & Antiques’ branded, Haughton International Fairs events, annually hosted in Europe and America.

Haughton Fairs are considered the top international platforms for the best dealers in the world. 

The fair is the first-of-its-kind in the region and is widely anticipated to position Dubai as a top international destination for art and antique collectors.

The exhibitors will be bringing important and rare pieces to Dubai, including furniture, decorations, paintings, jewelry, ceramics and porcelain and textiles, said the organiser.

'The fair promises an extraordinary opportunity to see the 'best of the best' under one roof,' noted Brian Haughton, organiser of the international Haughton Fairs.

Discerning art connoisseurs, collectors and industry experts in the UAE have embraced the decision to host this major art and antiques event in Dubai, viewing it as an important addition to the emirate's significant array of high profile art events.

“We are delighted to be working closely with the DTCM in bringing the world’s finest art and antiques to a city that is buzzing with energy, passion and rapid cultural expansion” Haughton added.

The Haughtons’ exacting standards of quality and presentation will be applied to ‘Art & Antiques Dubai’.

The fair promises to offer works of art of the same caliber and variety that make their annual international ‘Art & Antiques’ fairs reputed as a world-class events.-TradeArabia News Service
