Among more than 100 exhibitors is art and antiques expert Geoffrey Diner, who has a gallery in Washington, DC, America, and has assisted many Hollywood stars in building their collections.  He will be displaying 13 original Tiffany lamps, all of which will be up for sale.  These include a “cobweb” table lamp with is one of only 10 known to exist and is worth more than $3 million.  Diner says, “We have brought a couple of the most important Tiffany lamps ever made.  Louis Comfort Tiffany created his best work in the late 19th and early 20th Century.  He originally went to Europe as a painter and spent a lot of time in Morocco so he has a lot of influence that would translate well in this kind of environment.”
