The Petworth Antique And Decorative Arts association (PAADA) is an organization that represents the vast majority of the many antique shops, centers, dealers and interior designers in Petworth. PAADA is an associate member of LAPADA (Britain's largest Art and Antiques Trade Association of circa 750 members)

When dealing with a PAADA member you can rest assured we all comply with the PAADA code of practice as follows :-

1. Either show the full price of each item clearly on a ticket or have a book in which the description of each item and its full price are recorded. This information must be shown to potential customers on request.

2. Give customers, as much information about each item as is reasonably possible: for example, the materials from which the item is made, the name of the maker if known, the approximate date of manufacture and any major restoration.

3. Issue customers with a proper invoice showing the description of the item as shown on the label or described verbally, the price at which the item was sold and the name, address, telephone number and VAT registration number, if applicable, of the member.

4. Record all payments or deposits clearly, showing the terms on which the advance payment or deposit was taken and the date on which the balance must be paid.

1. Misrepresent or attempt to confuse or mislead members of the public or falsely describe any item they are attempting to sell or buy.

2. Misrepresent their membership of PAADA as a guarantee of authenticity of any item offered for sale.

By all means contact PAADA if you have any queries or suggestions. We can be reached on 01798 343 621 or email
