Buy Rugs and Carpets at a Prestigious London Art Event
Become our member to enjoy FREE tickets to the Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair in London, 10th-12th June 2010 and many other art events across the UK all year around. If you are looking to buy Persian, Oriental or Antique rugs and carpets, then you certainly should not miss a great opportunity to buy some rare and high quality pieces during the fair.
Visitors to the Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair should prepare to be astonished by the amazing number and variety of fine art works and antiques on display by dealers and galleries from across the world. Those examples with a higher profile such as Byzantine iconography and paintings, as well as Faberge jewellery will be there, but you’re going to get a lot more: indeed, there will be something for anyone who is in love with the fine art that has been manufactured by Russian and Oriental artists and craftsmen during the last millennium.
The art fair visitors will be able to see and buy such gorgeous pieces of art as highly decorated and beautifully crafted Persian, Oriental and Antique rugs and carpets. Some prominent examples of exquisite pieces to anticipate are Afghan Caucasian designed rugs, Fachralo Kazak rugs with classic design elements such as the classic box medallion with wine glass and a serrated leaf border and Turkoman carpets originating from Russian Turkmenistan.
Russian art collectors nowadays naturally gravitate to London to purchase the best examples of this genre as this city has become one of the most significant locations for Russian art auctions. Expatriate Russians living in London and other places and those still in the motherland travel to these auctions.
The 2009 Fair was designated by London’s Russian community as a premier event on their social calendar. A highlight of this Fair was the Charity Gala Evening on behalf of The Children’s Burns Trust, which was patronised by highly ranked Russians such as Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Dimitri Lobanov Rostovsky, celebrities and other VIPs. Approximately £15,000 was raised just for this charity through this evening, in conjunction with the Ritz Club VIP dinner.
Expectations were exceeded in quite a few examples of artwork sales: some even being recorded within the high six figure amounts. The Fair is particularly well regarded by the art community to the extent that galleries from as distant as, for example, the Far East and the United States are represented together with galleries from Russia, Europe and the Middle East.
Due to ever higher demand, the 2010 Fair will have on display Asian Art for the first time. The majority of this art primarily hails from the geographical area formerly known as Persia, for a long period renowned as the home of fine rugs and furnishings. Specialist Oriental and Indian art and antiquities dealers will also have on exhibit examples of a number of their finest collections: many who have attended the London Russian, Oriental and Eastern Art sales will see this as an answer to their prayers.
The organisers of the Russian Art Fair, in association with the Ritz Club Casino, The St Petersburg Ball, The Russian Summer Ball and representatives from the media and other Fair organisers, are intent on attracting top calibre clientele. To make certain that this happens, the venue selected for this 2010 Art Fair will be the opulent Art Deco ballroom in the Park Lane Hotel, located in London’s Mayfair.
The Fair has been timed in order to take advantage of the greater numbers of art purchasers who are in London to capitalise from the Russian sales at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonham’s and MacDougall’s, which are all occurring in the same week.
The 2010 Russian Oriental and Eastern Fine Art Fair will be open at the following days and events:
Private View: Wednesday 9th June 6pm to 9:30pm
Charity Gala Evening: Friday 11th June from 6pm
Public Days: Thursday 11am-6, Friday 11am-5 Saturday 11am-6pm
Those wishing to attend the specially organised Charity Gala Evening will be pleased to know that the recipient is once more the Children’s Burns Trust.
