ART and antique dealers from across the UK will be exhibiting at the new Burford School Antiques Fair this weekend.

Based just a few minutes from Burford centre, the first-time fair will feature a wide variety of fine quality art, antiques, collectors items and vintage furnishing pieces, with prices from just £25 to £25,000.

Organiser Caroline Penman, of Penman Fairs, said: "We've got something for everyone. And it's such a good time to buy. For instance how about a charming pair of early 19th century hallmarked silver sugar tongs, ideal for using for ice cubes, at £30?"

As well as dealers from across the country, the fair has attracted a great deal of attention from local antiques experts.

Antique furniture specialist W.R.Harvey from Witney will be at the event showing a rare George III tavern clock made by Henry Overall from Ramsey.

Sometimes mistakenly known as Act of Parliament clocks, organisers expect this piece to be highly sought after, at £25,000.

Alternatively, W.R.Harvey also offer plenty of furniture and paintings at more affordable prices including a set of four copper and brass measuring jugs, made circa 1850 at £135.

Also expected to be popular are a pair of early Edwardian candlesticks by James Dixon & Sons, measuring 22cms tall, on the stand of Worcester dealer Antiquarium, priced at £2,750.

Pottery, porcelain and glass will also star at the event, with a collection of Parian ware busts of classical and historic figures, from Drove House Antiques. Experts believe an early Copeland Parian figure of the Dice Player dating from around 1851 at £450 will attract a lot of attention.

There will also be watercolour paintings, jewellery and glasswork from various dealers.

The event, organised by Penman Fairs, will be held on July 30 and 31 at Burford School and is open to the public both days from 10am to 5pm.

Admission is £3.50 per person.
