LONDON—The BADA Antiques & Fine Art fair, organized by the British Antique Dealers Association, draws a devoted tribe of collectors each year. The 17th edition, from March 25 through 31, brings together 103 dealers showing top-flight period clocks, paintings and furniture, as well as the occasional contemporary piece. "Our fair is a manageable size, and we offer great quality," says director Gillian Craig.

Need a George III bracket clock (who doesn’t)? London’s Raffety & Walwyn is offering a circa 1770 example, crafted by Robert Henderson, for £21,000 ($32,000). Fellow London dealer Rafael Valls is bringing the 17th-century Dutch painting An Italianate Landscape with Travelers and a Donkey on a Path, priced at £45,000 ($68,000). And in a departure from the fair’s usual offerings, Norman Adams, also of London, has contemporary furniture by Jason Heap, including a black-walnut-veneered table for £1,900 ($2,880).
