Jay Arenski at The BADA Art & Antiques Fair Rutland.

Presenting exceptional antiques and design in the heart of England.

I’m delighted to be exhibiting at the inaugural BADA Art & Antiques Fair Rutland, the first major fair organised by the British Antique Dealers’ Association outside London since its founding in 1918. Taking place at the beautiful Rutland Hall Hotel, this landmark event marks an exciting new chapter for one of the UK’s most respected antiques institutions.

Bringing together 40 carefully selected BADA members, the Fair offers collectors, interior designers, and private buyers the opportunity to discover outstanding works of art, furniture, and design in a relaxed and elegant setting. Every object is rigorously vetted by BADA’s leading experts, ensuring complete confidence in quality and authenticity.

As part of this prestigious event, I will be presenting a curated selection of my latest finds, spanning decorative antiques, characterful furniture, and distinctive design objects from the 18th to the 20th century. My aim is always to offer pieces with strong presence and individuality, suited to both contemporary and traditional interiors.
