British Antique Dealers' Association

It is Britain's leading trade association for art and antique dealers and its members are carefully vetted and selected for their experience and professional integrity, as well as the quality and craftsmanship of their stock.

Customers can bring complaints against individual members to the governing body who have the power to revoke membership from an offending business and ban them from participating at various art fairs around the world.

[2] The British Antique Dealers' Association has strongly opposed moves for a total ban on the sale and trading of ivory.

In 2016 the then President of the group, Victoria Borwick, then also serving as an MP, told the House of Commons that "any ban on antique ivory is cultural vandalism".

[3] Other MPs criticised Borwick's comments with Rachael Maskell, the Labour MP describing them as "objectionable".
