Wagga antiques collector Barbara Wigg is a regular to the annual event, and said her and her husband John have been collecting for over 44 years. 

"We have Victorian items, decorative items, and a nice arrangement of french furniture associated with copper and brass, as well as some vases," she said.

Mr and Mrs Wigg own an antiques store in the Neslo Arcade on Baylis Street called 'John Wigg antiques', and said the items they have at the moment are adding to the excitement of the fair.

"We have the most amazing french lady's writing desk at the moment, it's absolutely stunning and will be featured at the antique fair available for purchase," Mrs Wigg said.

A passionate collector, Mrs Wigg said it was tempting to hold on to many of the items they have in store. 

"There are a lot of things we'd love to take home, but it's great to pass them on and see others be able to appreciate them," she said.

According to Mrs Wigg, the fair is always full of great finds and she is excited to see what will be on offer this year.

"We never know what we'll find, there are so many dealers coming to the fair, so many different items, and lots of things catch the eye," she said. 

The Antiques and Collectibles Fair is coming to Wagga on May 25 at the showgrounds.
