The Pays d’Aix Antiques Fair, which for the last eight years has had a large success in Le Tholonet, a village at the foot of Mount Sainte Victoire, has become bigger and is now the Pays d’Aix-Marseille Antiques Fair.

Set in Marseille, which in 2013 will be European Capital of Culture, the Antiques Fair will take a new start in 2010.

Thanks to extensive media-coverage and the generous support of the town of Marseille itself, the organizers hope to attract twice as many visitors as before, namely, 20.000, and thus anchor the Antiques Fair in the second largest town in France.

Based on a very careful organization, a rigorous selection of antiques dealers and a most hearty welcome, this Antiques Fair now features among the main ones in France.

This year 80 antiques dealers from all over France, among whom 20 art dealers in ancient and contemporary art, will display and sell exceptional antiques from the 17th to the 20th century (furniture, signed paintings, sculptures, art objects, silverware, jewels, decorative objects, ancient Chinese and African art, etc.).

The Fair has been granted a special label, the label “France-Antiquités-Authenticité-Qualité”, a guarantee of its high cultural level, and can be visited like a museum.

An Antiques Fair valuer will be there to authenticate the antiques on sale. He will offer a guided tour of the Fair every weekday at 11 a.m.—a true art history class in which he will set the art objects within their historical context.

All those interested in art, history and culture, all those interested in signed art objects are looking forward to this event.

The Antiques Fair is a unique opportunity for the public to encounter professional antiques dealers and share their passion for art objects and their history.

Our visitors liked Le Tholonet. You will love Marseille!
