The Textile Society’s Manchester Antique Fair 2012

It is 20 years since the Textile Society held the very first specialist Antique Textile Fair in the country. This year, they will be presenting Ethnic, Oriental, English and European Textiles and Dress, together with accessories, books and associated ephemera from over 100 dealers, showcasing and selling some of the best treasures from the eighteenth century onwards. The fair is ideal for finding the perfect vintage outfit or perhaps a decorative textile to furnish the home. Supported by a programme of free lectures, talks and demonstrations throughout the day, the event promises to be a fantastic occasion. www.textilesociety.org.uk
