Liberty Exhibition 2010 Catalogue

Welcome to the 2010 annual Arts and Crafts selling Exhibition.

Following the success of last year’s show we are holding the 2010 Exhibition for a month and this will run from Saturday 15th May (10.00am start) through till 13th June, on the 4th floor east atrium. I have been retained to act as curator for this year’s show and again the collection reflects a superb selection of British art and design that flourished from 1850 to 1950.

This year the Exhibition will include some rare and important pieces of textiles, metalware along side iconic furniture from the period.

Not all items are photographed but pictures will be available upon request. For these and other enquiries during the show, please contact me on 020 7734 1234 and I will be at Liberty's for the duration of the Exhibition. The catalogue will be available on-line from 15th May.
I hope you enjoy this year’s show and look forward to your continued custom.
