A Tour of The Metro Antiques Show in NYC January 24-27, 2013
The Metro Show was a dazzling and impressive event beautifully staged by top dealers
from nearby as well as faraway places. Full of energy and creativity
provided by the knowledgeable, enthusiastic specialists in art and
antiques, this event is a welcome breath of fresh air, replacing the
show formerly sponsored by the Museum of American Folk Art. The show
has come into its own under the guidance of a professional team of
organizers, retaining the best of past shows plus making new additions
and greatly expanding the antiques and art show experience. Each of
the various January show events in NYC has its own distinct, unique look
and feel - this one is up there with the best.

A visit to the Antiques at the Armory Show, NYC, January 25, 2013
A big event in antiques and the arts week in New York City is opening
day at the Antiques at the Armory Show near Gramercy Park. This Stella
managed winter extravaganza did not disappoint. Always exciting and
energetic, the event was jammed with visitors from all over the country,
eagerly checking out the fantastic line-up of wares from some of the
highest quality dealers in the business. This show differs from many
others in that it has elegance, charm, and glamour at, if you look
carefully, affordable prices. Here are some of our favorites.
The textiles in Michelle Fox's extensive collection never fail to cause a stir, particularly with her patriotic items including historic flags and antique quilts, all in pristine condition. |
Two killer hooked rugs and an architectural bird house in old white
paint were just part of the knockout display presented by Jewett-Berdan
Antiques, New Castle, ME.

1st Dibs Celebrates New Book Signing
One of the best things about New York City is - if it's January 17, 2013
- how easy it is to jump in a taxi and in 10 minutes or so you are at
1st Dibs' 5th Avenue digs sipping cocktails in celebration of designer
Eric Cohler's new book, Cohler on Design. Ace photographer Blanche
Greenstein caught Financial analyst Dawn Wright and me checking out the
glorious photographs of rooms created by the well known designer, whose
fabrics are currently enjoyed in The White House. The amazing honcho of
1st Dibs, Michael Bruno, once again showed his high style as the sponsor of
the very festive event.
