The 36th Connecticut Spring Antiques Show: New England’s First Premier Show in 2009!
The 36 th Connecticut Spring Antiques Show described as ‘one of the most important antiques shows in the nation’ by Antiques and the Arts Weekly will take place in Hartford on March 14 and 15, 2009 at the Connecticut Expo Center. Portrayed as ‘an Americana treasure trove’ the show features pre-1840 American furniture and appropriate accessories with over 70 of the country’s finest and most respected antiques dealers some of whom have been with the show for over three decades. Saturday hours are 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday hours are 11 am to 4 pm. Admission is $10 and parking is free. The Connecticut Expo Center is located at 265 Rev. A. Moody Overpass, (I-91, Exit 33) in Hartford, CT.
Leading figures of the antiques trade will display outstanding and unique examples of early American furniture, porcelain and pottery, silver and pewter, fine art, brass and ironware, textiles, prints and more. The show ‘a rare survivor from an earlier era of collecting’ has made a concerted effort to maintain its offering of highest quality early American antiques while making the content more diverse. The show attracts serious collectors, supports new collectors and brings both together with knowledgeable dealers and experts who share a passion for period American antiques and decorative arts. The show has earned a reputation not only as a destination show with quality merchandise but also as an educational experience for visitors. On Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15 the show will offer free educational booth chats by distinguished and knowledgeable exhibitors.
The Connecticut Spring Antiques Show benefits the Haddam Historical Society’s educational programming, exhibitions and collections care as well as the preservation of the Thankful Arnold House Museum, which is located on the Connecticut Women’s Heritage Trail.
The show is managed by Karen DiSaia, who is also responsible for The American Antiques Show (TAAS) in New York and the ADA/Historic Deerfield Antiques Show. Show co-chairs are Rusty Clowes and Mary Bird of the Haddam Historical Society.
