The Art Antiques London fair, organized by Anna and Brian Haughton, is onview at a Kensington Gardens pavilion through next Wednesday, and themanageable array of 63 dealers working the booths means that visitors won'tfeel overwhelmed while browsing the eclectic offerings on display. Here arefive objects that caught the eye of Art + Auction executive editor MeghanDailey on day one of the fair:

1. At Holly Johnson Antiques, a pair of Gillows card tables, circa 1830,are on offer for £30,000 ($43,660). Classic Gillows details — fromthe fine carving and high-quality wood to ball-and-claw feet — plus theirexcellent condition, make these tables special, says Johnson. Theycame directly from a country estate in England's storied Lake District, theonetime stomping grounds of some of the country's most famous Romanticpoets.

2. Eugene Boudin's Study of Sea and Sky at Stephen Ongpin Fine Art,is available for £48,000 ($69,850). Done on blue paper that stands in for thesky, this gem by Boudin stands out at Ongpin's terrific stand, though aclose second in appeal is a nearly abstract pastel of Waterloo Bridge byBoudin's pupil, Monet.

3. The Haughtons event incorporates the 30-year-old International CeramicsFair and Seminar, so it's not surprising to see some rarities at top dealerslike Adrian Sassoon. He has an extremely rare, circa 1752 yellow-groundVincennes cup and saucer decorated with scenes, in blue, of a boy copiedfrom Francois Boucher engravings. Sassoon says it's the first time indecades that he's offered yellow-ground pieces, which he explains areuncommon and may have been influenced by the Chinese porcelain of the time.The pair is £38,000 ($55,260).

4. A 1755 bow shell centerpiece at Brian Haughton's booth is priced at£8,500 ($12,360). Charming and irresistible, this pastel bricollage isthoroughly 18th-century English but quirky enough to appeal to contemporarytastes.

5. At Lowell Libson, Sir Peter Lely's circa 1672 portrait of AnneStrangeways, depicting her near an orange tree, is available for £180,000($261,000).
