Each fall, the world’s top collectors, dealers, and decorators head to the Pavilion of Art & Design (PAD) in London’s Berkeley Square. Launched 21 years ago in Paris, the fair has become one of the premier annual events for international art and design, ranging from antiquities and tribal art to 19th-century sculpture, ceramics, and contemporary furniture. The London version—now in its 11th year—features 68 exhibitors and countless objects. Here, we have scoured the fair for the standout pieces.
