Exhibition: Henry Poole & Co and tiepins
Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2008 8:11 pm
An unusual combination of topics, I grant you.
However London based members may care to know that the British Antique Dealers Association Fair (5-11th March) at Duke of Yorks, near Sloane Square, has an interesting loan exhibition from Henry Poole & Co- amongst a small number of exhibits is the recreation of one of Winston Churchill's suits using Fox Flannel.
There is also a beautiful blue smoking jacket, which has set me thinking.
They also have a lovely and interesting (well at least I enjoyed it) exhibition of tiepins which are well displayed. The free exhibition catalogue has an article on tiepins by Diana Scarisbrick.
If you are in the vicinity, worth a look. Also, lots of lovely antiques to admire.
