Those with expensive tastes may be be dazzled by a silvergilt large candleabra, created by designer Stuart Devlin in 1972, and on sale for £25,000. A curious range of artworks includes an oil on canvas with an agricultural twist. The Plough Team was originally painted by Harrogate artist Wright Barker circa 1930 and comes with a sale price of £7,500. Another well-known Harrogate artist, the late Brian Shields, has artwork featured. Shields, who signed many of his works Braaq, a misspelling of his favourite artist, Braque, spent most of his working life in the spa town, initially as a trainee chef. His talent was recognised when murals he painted on the walls of a Harrogate hotel where he worked caused quite a stir and for several weeks there was a search in the local papers for this talented artist. It is generally accepted that this was a planned publicity stunt. A winter scene, painted by Shields in oils in 1976 and entitled Bonfire Wood is on sale from Art World, dealers from the Cotswolds, priced at £32,000. Sue Ede, of Cooper Events, took over and relaunched The Pavilions of Harrogate Antiques and Fine Art Fair at the Great Yorkshire Showground three years ago. She said: “We now have 50 specialist dealers from across the country with a vast range of period pieces and prices to suit every pocket, from £25 to £50,000. The easy parking, good catering facilities and above all the wide choice of fine art, antiques, collectors items and all kinds of rare and unusual pieces make this event a must for collectors.” The fair started yesterday and concludes on Sunday. Admission is £5.
