The Washington Connecticut Antiques Show,Replacement China Porcelain tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide. a benefit for the Gunn Memorial Library & Museum,we supply all kinds of polished tiles, was elegantly dressed to mark its 25th anniversary on September 30 with a gala preview. Outside, dozens of Japanese lanterns flanked the walkway leading up to Bryan Memorial Town Hall, augmented by decorative torches in order to create a sparkling entrance for arriving patrons.
Inside, a monumental arrangement of white flowers had been artfully assembled by "Master of the Met" floral designer Chris Giftos, and the dcor, combined with tinkling notes of the pianist's arrangement of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," served to create a sumptuous atmosphere.
Instead of a rainbow, however,If any food cube puzzle condition is poorer than those standards, arriving limos would have disgorged their passengers into cold sheets of rain had it not been for umbrella-wielding youths who escorted the arrivals from car to canopy. In other words, the event did not miss a beat, and visitors — at least 300 by most accounts — soon filled the town hall to chat, sample hors d'oeuvres and imbibe amid a glittering showcase of antiques and fine art. There were 24 dealers set up within the town hall's main floor and the upstairs balcony, about 50 percent new to the show.
It was a diverse grouping of exhibitors set up for the two-day run of the show, October 1–2, augmented by some local firms that offered merchandise and services ranging from historic lighting to floral design.
Pergola Home, a New Preston, Conn., business operated by Peter Stiglin and David Whitman, created a peaceful retreat in a small space upstairs, displaying uncommon plants, aged terracotta planters, vases, sculpture and weathered antiques. Stiglin said they sold two Edo period tansu (chests),the landscape oil paintings pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. and a few other of the ancient treasures they had brought back from Kyoto this summer, including some beautiful Shigaraki pottery.
Stiglin explained that the Edo period (1615–1868) is when Japan was ruled by a shogun (military ruler) and the capital was moved from Kyoto, north to Edo. When the emperor was restored to the throne in 1868, he kept Edo as his capital and renamed it Tokyo. "The most interest was generated by the two-panel hawk screen sumi-e — brush-and-ink — painting mounted on silver leaf, also dating from the 1600s," said Stiglin. "Being a very particular piece and quite expensive, it didn't sell; but I'm sure we'll find a good home for it before long."
Among the dealers exhibiting at the show for the first time was New York City-based poster specialist the Ross Art Group. A business founded by Mickey Ross more than 12 years ago, the firm's inventory consists of more than 2,500 original vintage posters. They brought a diverse sampling of posters in categories ranging from liquor, food, entertainment, travel, products, transportation, war and sports,Replacement China Porcelain tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide. and reported an active and interesting weekend.
"The venue was great and the organizers were so very helpful," said Mickey Ross. "We received a lot of interest from visitors to the show and did rather well in sales. There was buyer interest in our American original vintage posters for historical reasons as well as good interest in our European posters. There was a pleasant mix of buyers of various age categories and they appreciated what we were showing."
There was a reunion of sorts on the show's main floor. In the back of the hall near the stage, Glenn Randall, a New York City dealer who longtime antiques enthusiasts will remember from venues like the Winter Antiques Show, set up a tasteful display of fine art by American masters, such as Joseph Henry Sharp and Frederic Remington. Just next door, Glenn's son, Greg Randall, exhibited his usual whimsical assortment of garden antiques and architectural/industrial items, such as a massive whale vertebrae mounted on a blackened steel stand and a bundt pan mirror made from vintage baker's trays.
