1st UK National Antiques Week.

Monday 23rd November marks the start of the 1st British National Antiques Week, which has grown out of the success of 2008's National Antiques Day.  The theme of the week is 'Antiques are Green', describing the antiques trade as the largest recycling market in the world.

The aim of the week is to encourage new buyers (particularly younger people) into the antiques market for the first time.  Dealers are encouraged to hold events, stay open late and generate as much publicity as possible.

The week is co-ordinated by the 'Antiques News'  http://www.antiquesnews.co.uk/page_5.php
