The Sydney Fair - Art, Furniture, Antiques, Fashion and Jewellery From Across The Globe
The highlight of the Sydney arts and culture calendar, The Sydney Fair, is showcasing a rich variety of art, furniture, antiques, fashion and jewellery from across the globe from Thursday 28th May to Sunday 31st May at the Royal Randwick Racecourse.
A true celebration of art, history and culture, The Sydney Fair will feature over 60 of the country's most respected dealers who will share their passion for rare, eccentric and beautiful items that each tell a story.
Visitors to the fair will be able to purchase all items from the dealers, including standout pieces such as Captain Cook's vest and a missing Sir Donald Bradman testimonial cricket bat.
At this year's Sydney Fair, visitors will encounter one of the most visually arresting displays in the entire exhibition " the extraordinary work of Prestige Peacocks Taxidermy Australia, sourced ethically and prepared to museum standards by master taxidermist Colin Rich.
These remarkable peacocks are far more than decorative objects. They are sculptural works that capture a fleeting moment of natural elegance " the poised stillness, the gentle turn of the head, the cascading drama of a fully extended tail. Each bird is meticulously prepared to preserve not only its physical form, but its presence.
A curated progression of Valentino dresses, where every piece presented forms part of a rare and significant collection, will be available for acquisition. This unique opportunity offers collectors and connoisseurs the rare chance to own a tangible part of fashion history.
