Now we're in the Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair itself - www.decorativefair.com - and here are just a few of the things we loved this season.

One of our favorite, always spectacular stands is Artefact who find wonderfully distressed pieces in France and put them together with an amazing air of faded elegance. Sadly they don't have a website, but they do have a beautiful store at 273 Lillie Road, London SW6 7LL.

White and lilac roses on a distressed table. The candle holders are vintage jelly jars.

Vintage glass with more of those vintage French jelly jars on a beautiful old painted table. The voie unique sign says it all.

A good mix: vintage model bicycle, metal letters, an old table. 

Not at Artefact, but in the same mood

And more distressed elegance at another stand.
