Madrid,
It is a top event for lovers of art and antiques: it turns 43 years old. ANTIK Almoneda, the leading Madrid fair in terms of decoration, collecting, creation of all eras and vintage fashion, will take place from April 11 to 19 in pavilion 12 of IFEMA MADRID. During those nine days, this venue will house thousands of collectibles and artistic works dating from Prehistory to the 1960s and 1970s.
