Welsh theme at Llandeilo Antiques and Vintage Fair

-

THE latest antiques and vintage fair to be held at the Civic Hall Llandeilo, is being held today. The fair will provide visitors with inspiratio­n and a choice of antiques at affordable prices.

This successful fair is held on the first Saturday of each month (with the exception of January and February) and can be located in the heart of the busy town of Llandeilo, close to the main car park.

Whether hunting at the antique fair for enjoyment, or surfing for just the right item for a loved one or finding that one thing you have been searching for ages, the Llandeilo fair provides the ideal shopping experience.

Being a Welsh fair it is understand­able that there should be a good selection of Welsh items on offer.

Whether it’s a original Welsh watercolou­r or oil. Gwili pottery or the highly sought after Ewenny pottery,visitors will be amazed at the variety on offer.

Welsh blankets and textiles will also feature heavily at the fair. Wales is of course famous for its rich heritage in the woollen industry.

Woollen blankets (carthen) have been woven in the various Welsh woollen mills for centuries and a wealth of patterns and colours were devised. Welsh blankets are now highly prized.

The theme of the fair generally will be harping back to the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s with stands showcasing stylish ladies and men’s fashion.

The emphasis will be on affordable vintage clothing and accessorie­s.

There will also be vintage collection­s of home furnishing­s mixed in with vintage-inspired jewellery and militaria
