Antiques Shows

It is that time of year which is revered by the antiques aficionado to sail into a world of elegance where old objects are never passé.  This season, antiques take center stage with an exciting line-up of prestigious shows across the nation. The events are quite fascinating.  I think designers and collectors alike are enthralled not only by the exceptional quality works of art but also for acquiring knowledge to better know the things they love.
