September 27 to 29 Antiques and Classic Motor Vehicles Fair at the IFEPA in Torre Pacheco
Over 40,000 vintage and retro items on offer at the 21st edition of the Torre Pacheco Antiques Fair
The ever-popular annual Antiques Fair at the IFPEA venue in Torre Pacheco returns this year from September 27 to 29 with a classic car and motor vehicle show running alongside the main event.
The 20th edition of the Antiques Fair opens on Friday and Saturday September 27 and 28 from 11.00 to 21.00 and on Sunday September 29 from 11.00 to 20.00, with admission priced at 5 euros if booked in advance online here or 8 euros on the door. The admission fee covers both the antiques fair and the classic vehicle show.
As ever, the 100 or so exhibitors will be offering a host of items for sale, from coins to candelabras and from gramophones to dolls and artwork – it is difficult not to fall for at least a couple of the huge variety of vintage and retro items on offer!
Among the 44,000 or so objects being displayed it is common to find bronze and nickel cash tills, typewriters, Victorian sewing machines, phonographs, rustic decoration, microscopes, jewellery, crockery, framed pictures, bicycles, dolls, telephones, toys, furniture, lamps, clocks and watches, irons, mirrors, walking sticks, musical instruments … and loads more! The minimum age of the pieces on sale is 40 years but many are from the 19th century or before, with exhibitors travelling to the show not only from all over Spain but also from France, Italy, the UK and the Netherlands.
Alongside the sale of antiques there are also various restoration workshops over the weekend and a free prize draw for an elegant clock can be entered simply by filling out the form which is handed to visitors as they enter. Further information on the workshops is available at www.desembalajemurcia.com under “talleres”.
The fair is run on the “unpacking” model which was pioneered in France, with asking prices anywhere between 5 euros and sums well into four figures. As a guarantee of authenticity and quality a sales certificate can be provided and it is also possible to arrange transport for larger items.
The classic car and motor vehicle event is organized by Club Ruta del Sol and features over 200 motor cars and motorcycles, specialist magazines and information provided by associations in the field.
