Winter Antiques Show Gets Set To Dazzle
On Thursday evening, the Winter Antiques Show at the Seventh Regiment Armory will open to a crowd of collectors and socialites who have paid hundreds of dollars a ticket to get a first look at the objects for sale. The Winter Show, which, along with the International Show, is one of the premier antique shows in New York, exhibits the finest examples of everything from English furniture to American quilts; from antique jewelry to Chinese ceramics, and from medieval sculpture to objets de vertu the French term for beautiful but useless things, like Faberg. "Dealers save their most important pieces for the Winter Antiques Show, so people know they are going to see things they wouldn't see the rest of the year," the show's executive director, Catherine Sweeney Singer, said. "Dealers will say to a client: I have a piece that I know you're going to be interested in, but you need to come to the opening night party to see it.'" The party, sponsored by Elle Decor typically raises over a million dollars for the show's owner, the East Side House Settlement.
