Andy Briggs - Antiques at the Holt

Andy Briggs - Furniture Restoration and General Antiques
We first met Andy years ago, through the monthly Woodstock Antiques Fair. It was after the town council forced him to end that great little fair that we launched Antiques@TheHolt, so he's to blame for all this! He's a furniture restorer by trade (as well as beekeeper and archery enthusiast), so brought along some choice examples of his work, as well as a selection of general antiques

Antiques at the Holt

Andy Dodridge Art Glass - 20th Century Art Glass
Art glass specialist Andy returned to The Holt for his second visit as a dealer. He has a particular passion for the work of Michael Harris, so his stock typically contains fine pieces from the early Mdina years, as well Isle of Wight. He also offers some of the finest glass by the likes of Julia Donnelly, Anthony Stern, Annette Meech and, one of our favourites, Richard Golding (Okra)

Tony & Donna Allen - General Antiques

Tony & Donna Allen - General Antiques, Ceramics & Collectables
Tony Allen and his daughter Donna (and it's good to see the younger generation with an interest in antiques dealing!) stand every Friday at the Cirencester Antiques Market, as well as being regulars at Malvern and Ryton-on-Dunsmore. They offer a range of traditional antiques and collectables, including silver, ceramics, glasswares, the occasional clock, inkwells, prints and paintings.

Arcadia Antiques - General Antiques, Collectables and Curios
Andrew Long is one of our most determined supporters, and has yet to miss an Antiques@TheHolt. His table veritably groans with the weight of the interesting selection of antiques and curios he always amasses (plus his very individual shelving system). Expect a few clocks, a bit of Charlotte Rhead, musical instruments, glass, ceramics and some select items of militaria.

Marilyn Arrigoni - Antiques at the Holt

Marilyn Arrigoni - Fine ceramics, Moorcroft, Troika & Silverwares
Marilyn made her debut at The Holt for the Easter fair 2016. She specialises in fine 20th century ceramics, and her stock includes some fine examples of works by Moorcroft and Troika. Her Moorcroft selection is imposing, and includes pieces from the early years as well as more contemporary examples. She also displayed examples of glass, silver and jewellery.

Val Sparks does us proud every time she comes to The Holt, with an impressive array of very tasteful antiques, woodenwares and curios. She also bings some select items of furniture, glasswares and ceramics. Her display beams with beautifully patinated wood, polished brass, the glint of glass, and more often than not, some flowers to highlight the wooden boxes and treen.

Antiques @ The Holt

Michael Collier - Vintage Topographical & Themed Postcards
Mike has one of the most impressive collections of regional topographic postcards we've ever seen. He is only able to bring a small percentage of his stock to The Holt - perhaps 20,000 cards in total - with an emphasis on local towns and villages in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the Cotswolds. He tempts us each fair with his Titanic memorabilia, but we can't afford the insurance!

Mike can be contacted through this website


Martin Cox of Cox & Pierce Antiques

Martin Cox - Items of Furniture, Boxes and Collectables
November 2016 was Matin's second visit to The Holt, who travels down from Staffordshire to represent Cox & Pierce Antiques. He displayed items of small furniture, including chairs, chests of drawers, tables other period pieces, as well as writing slopes, vanity boxes, tea caddies and other items almost exclusively (but not entirely) made from wood.

Peter offers genuine antique door furniture, from solid brass knockers, handles and letterboxes, to coathooks, escutcheons and plates. Dotted in among will be a few choice 'Mantiques'.

Jean Harwood - Ceramics, Glass, Antiques & Collectables
Jean says she wouldn't miss a fair at The Holt "for the World", so we're delighted that she's was back again in November with more of her carefully selected items. Among her favourite stock items are pieces of art glass (especially blue-green Mdina), porcelain, prints, paintings, silver, jewellery, platedwares and art pottery.

Peter and Janet Herbert

Peter & Janet Herbert - Glass, Ceramics, Silver & Jewellery
Allowing for the upheaval of their recent house move, we were honoured that Peter and Janet went out of their way to join us at The Holt, even if only for the Saturday. Their beautiful array of jewellery and silver always adds a sparkle to the room, and is tastefully off-set by some choice examples of English and continental porcelain and glass.

Dittany Morgan - 18th Century Porcelain

Dittany Morgan - 18th Century English & Chinese Porcelain
Although Dittany’s passion is for early English and Chinese porcelain, from the 18th Century or before, her stock has broadened in recent years to include later examples of top-quality ceramics, particularly teawares, as well as Mauchlineware, crystal glasswares, curios and the occasional Ming dynasty ginger jar, and items of feline interest.

Graham stood with us at the same time in 2015. This November he brought a selection of British and Foreign silverwares dating from the 18th to the 21st Century, along with a range of ceramics including Royal Worcester, Doulton, Royal Copenhagen and Derby; also present were examples of period jewellery, objets d’art and watercolours.

Mel Osment

Mel Osment - Oriental Works of Art and Collectables
We were delighted that Mel could join us once again. His array of mainly Oriental works of art is a constant source of wonder - ranging from intricate carvings in jade and ivory, through delicate porcelain and ceramics, to imposing bronzes, wooden carvings and militaria. Mel also finds space for some Art Deco pieces, as well as a few religious artefacts.

Tony and Jill Worthington came back to their usual pitch for November, and offered another characteristically exquisite selection of items. Jill has a penchant for scent bottles and glass, with a special interest in 'Uranium' pieces, while Tony's contribution tends to be focused on ceramics and silverwares, especially Royal Doulton and Poole and what are usually referred to as Objets de Virtu.
