Don't miss the Ellsworth Antiques Show at Woodlawn presented by Prentiss and Carlisle, August 13th-15th with a gala Preview Party on August 12th.
The Ellsworth Antiques Show at Woodlawn, staged under a tent on the museum grounds, is America's longest running summer antiques show. With a reputation as one of the finest summer antiques show in the country, the show will feature twenty-seven dealers of national as well as regional renown. Twelve Maine antiques dealers will join with fifteen dealers from across the east coast and as far away as Missouri to present a diverse selection of art and antiques. Fine examples of American and English furniture and accessories, American paintings and watercolors, quilts, prints, rare books, ceramics, folk art, silver, jewelry, and oriental rugs will be among the items for sale.
Several of the dealers are long-time exhibitors at such prestigious antiques events as the Philadelphia Antiques Show, the Ellis Antiques Show in Boston, the Washington Antiques Show, and the Winter Antiques Show in New York City. Several dealers are frequently seen on the Antiques Roadshow.
A gala Preview Party will launch the Show on Wednesday, August 12th from 5-8 p.m. With the purchase of their ticket, all Preview Party guests will have the chance to win some fabulous door prizes including: a catered dinner for six at Woodlawn, a nights stay in Boston and tickets to the Museum of Fine Arts, two season tickets to The Met: Live in HD at the Grand, and a family croquet outing at Woodlawn. Tickets are $75 per person, $65 for Woodlawn members, and are available at the door or in advance by calling 667-8671.
