If you love antiques and all things vintage, the Melbourne Fair is a way to kit out your home and wardrobe with high-quality items from the past.
There will be more than 50 of the country's best antique, Art Deco and vintage dealers offering an array of exquisite pieces of furniture, art, jewellery, antiquities, home decor, and vintage designer pieces from around the globe. The styles span everything from the Georgian era all the way through the mid-20th century, and of course, plenty of Art Deco goodies.
The Victory Room at Marvel Stadium will be transformed into an opulent trove of wonders from September 12 to 15, with an eclectic array of artistic, historic, and cultural pieces for visitors to explore.
Most excitingly, this year the event will feature dresses from the wardrobes of Hollywood icons Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, available for purchase. Yes, you could wear a beautiful dress once worn by these stars of the silver screen.
Plus, you can marvel at rare and extraordinary items on display, such as a solid gold box gifted by the King of Spain, a magnificent 19th century birdcage, and an Egyptian wood sarcophagus mummy mask from 1189 BC.
Hear the stories behind many of the unique pieces, with presentations and discussions lead by experts and some of the country’s most notable dealers on hand to share their wisdom.
You can book tickets online to the event here, or purchase at the door.
