Showcase, Midcentury Magazine

19th November 2012

AntikBar has been featured in the Decorative Fair review of Midcentury Magazine ("the contemporary guide to modern living"), on pp 86-91, Autumn/Winter 2012:

"In this issue we bring you a snapshot of what we saw at two of our favourite London design fairs - we try to get to them every time they're on as you never know what you'll find, and it's rare for us to leave empty handed, even with the best intentions! ... Yes, collecting is definitely cool again.

Name of Business: AntikBar, web and by appointment only in South-West London. 
Star Piece? A Morris Mini poster dated 1959. It's very quirky and it depicts the essence of an era through one single picture. It was one of the first posters produced to advertise this British design icon, which was known as Morris 850 until the Mini came about in 1961. It was printed in the UK, but was sent to car dealers in Italy and that's where we found it. We had it restored and backed on linen to preserve the poster."
