Gallery: The American Antiques Show

January 23, 2009
The American Antiques Show Read The Original Post

Kevin took photos of our entrance - this one of me entering the show in front of one of the great quilts - the heads are of the myriad paparazzi at such events.
Also attending the show with me - MSLO co-CEO Robin Marino and SVP Editorial Director of Collecting Fritz Karch
M. Finkel & Daughter - a Martha Rudderow sampler. It says - How are thy servant's bless'd O Lord.How sure is their defense.Eternal wisdon is their guide.Their help Omnipotence.
This is a fantastic shadowbox full of amazing needlecraft - so intricate and detailed.
An early Bibendum or Michelin Tire Man carved in wood
Gary R. Sullivan Antiques always has gorgerous clocks, bureaus, and mirrors.
Can you believe this? A giant painted lobster claw!
The Charles and Rebekah Clark booth displays classicism at its best.
I fell in love with this extraordinary copper rooster weather vane.
One of a pair of amazing Steuben shaded metal arts and crafts lights - wouldn't they look great on your desk?
A Stickley grandfather's clock in working order - $32,000 - Alexis has one of these, somewhere!
Eggs and beans made from plaster and attached to boards on top of linen screening - are they for chocolate making of what???
A good closeup to help you identify what this is!
I love geometric hooked rugs - I would like a very large rug please - 15'X24' PLEASE!
An exquisitely fine example of needlework - the show has wonderful specimens, mostly from the 19th century.
This very large hooked rug was the centerpiece in the gallery of Stephen Score, Inc. He always has show stoppers/heart stoppers.
This, too, was in Score's booth. I really wanted it - Noah's Ark carved in a thick, heavy slab of white marble - a very fine and whimsical relief that is true American folk art.
Have you ever wondered what to do with your pencil collection?
Or with your grandmother's buttons? These are clever, graphic, and superb examples of artist ingenuity.
Tramp art was really discovered or recognized as an art form in the 20th century - it is phenomenal and intriguing.
You see layer upon layer of wood and whimsy.
These are beautifully crocheted animals, lovingly appliqued on top of handwoven wool.
This is the artist - the price $5500 - Kate would be surprised, I am sure.
This quilt is one of a kind - so beautifully executed and so well-designed.
From the Clements family, circa 1850 - $48,000
There were many native American rugs - this one caught my eye - such wonderful colors.
I loved this painting - "Rockbound Coast" by Edward Potthast (circa 1925, oil on canvas - the red granite rocks look like they are right off Ocean Drive on Mt. Desert Island in Maine.
another amazing quilt
