AIFAF will again gather prestigious galleries and distinguished collectors from around the world during its return to the Palm Beach County Convention Center February 4th-12th, 2012, with a VIP Preview on February 3rd.

The carefully selected presentation will include international dealers representing disciplines of fine art from classical antiquity to contemporary, and the world's finest collection of haute and period jewelry. The fair is fully vetted by leading museum curators and experts.

Continuing last year's successful format, a full schedule of daily activities will coincide with the exhibitions including informative lectures from highly respected museum curators and art experts, as well as cocktail parties and other social events.

2012 Highlights:
New to AIFAF this year, world-renowned Fabergé will present a special exhibition and lecture series - Faberge: The Rebirth of an Icon- lecture by Geza von Habsburg. Paying homage to the legendary Imperial Eggs created by Peter Carl Fabergé for the Romanov family, and celebrating the Egg as a timeless universal symbol of life, Fabergé has designed a collection of one-of-a-kind High Jewelry Egg Pendants, Les Fameux de Fabergé. Each design illustrates a traditional Russian proverb, through complex, multi-layered concepts brought to life by the finest craftsmanship in the world today. The first of these creations launched in Paris during Couture Week, July 2011, marking the beginning of a series of twelve High Jewelry Egg Pendants, one for every month of the year. Each pendant, a wearable object of desire, involves a lengthy, exacting and in many cases pioneering fabrication process, pushing boundaries of both design and manufacture, and taking contemporary craftsmanship to a new level of sophistication.

Among highlights for AIFAF's outstanding lecturers this year, Victoria Wyeth, granddaughter of "America's Painter" Andrew Wyeth will present a special lecture and presentation. Dynamic and energetic, Ms. Wyeth has been sharing her knowledge about the art of the Wyeth family since she was fifteen years old. Her unique personal perspective offers memories and insights gained through years of discussions about art with her grandfather, amplified by chats with her uncle, the painter Jamie Wyeth.

Thur 3 May to Mon 7 May

Its development has always been closely monitored with attention to detail and balance being the key words. Exhibitors applying are selected on a basis of quality, integrity and knowledge, and as many areas of antiques as possible are represented to give the Fair a vital and diverse profile. The Fair now includes 20th century and Art Nouveau specialist dealers, adding another dimension to this interesting Fair. Many of the exhibitors are members of either the British Antique Dealers' Association or the London and Provincial Antique Dealers Association and are well-known and esteemed in their areas of expertise.

The aim of the Fair is to provide a suitable forum for antiques and fine art from all over the country to be presented before the cognoscenti of the North, who are renowned for their appreciation of the finer things in life! Harrogate is a centre of excellence for antiques in the North of England and, enhanced by its unique and elegant beauty, it is a natural setting for one of the most prestigious events of Antiques and Fine Art to be found outside London .

Although it maintains the highest standards, the Fair, under the direction of its organiser, Louise Walker, prides itself on being a friendly and informative experience to both exhibitors and visitors alike. Its original byword of being a "Buyer's Fair", where like-minded people can discuss and purchase Fine Art and Antiques, still holds true.
