• 2010 Review of Our Booth at TAAS

  

  April 1, 2010 This is a review of the 2010 TAAS show.  Our booth is described in the article. If you would like to see what Marta Stewart thought of the show follow this link, a wing chair from our booth is image #16. Since the 1970's, the third week in January has been Americana Week in New York City. Nine years ago The American Antiques Show (TAAS) became a new addition to this jam-packed week of auctions and shows. TAAS took over the Metropolitan Pavilion at 125 West 18th Street, and it has remained there ever since. This year the show was held January 20-24. Maine Antique Digest, April, 2010.  

• 2009 Review of Our Booth at TAAS

  February 10, 2009 "What the world needs is whimsy. It's the best antidote," said folk art partisan Stephen Score, radiant before an A.L. Jewell & Co., molded copper horse weathervane with a luscious surface and an oversized hooked rug of storybook charm and innumerable puppies. One of 45 dealers exhibiting at The American Antiques Show (TAAS), January 22–25, Score's association with the sponsoring American Folk Art Museum goes back several decades. Over the years, Score and other veterans have seen good times and bad in the antiques trade, but 2009 is in a class by itself. Antiques and the Arts Online, February 10, 2009.

• Style Music TV visited me at the TAAS show

  February 20, 2011 Here is an interview I did with Style Music TV at The American Antique Show last year.  The style of the interview is pretty laid-back, but the content that I get a chance to convey is fun.  It also offers a great chance to see my booth and what goes on at the show.  The clip is one piece, watch the beginning to see Martha Stewart, but my portion is from  3:45-7:10

• Steampunk Exhibit reviewed by Maine Antique Digest

  

  February 26, 2011 Steampunk. Never heard of it? Trust me. You'll encounter the term more often from now on. Briefly and somewhat simplistically, steampunkers play with the illusion that time periods can coexist. They imagine what things might have looked like if our technology had been available to the Victorians, and then they create those things. Those who make steampunk objects primarily modify Victorian antiques, but they also use antiques from other eras, recycled items, salvage, and plain old junk. And while often their creations qualify as art, they commonly also have a specific, practical purpose. There are rideable steampunk bicycles, playable steampunk guitars, steampunk clocks that tell time, and steampunk houses that people live in. Both an aesthetic and an interior-design solution, steampunk is also, for some, a philosophy of life.

• A Review of Gary's Publication "Harbor & Home"

  

  May 1, 2009 For the last five years Brock Jobe, professor of decorative arts at Winterthur, and several cohorts have been investigating the cultural history of southeastern Massachusetts. The result is a book and exhibition, Harbor & Home: Furniture of Southeastern Massachusetts, 1710-1850, to commemorate this pioneer regional study of a section of New England about the size of Delaware.

• The Metro Show: New Show Adds Spark To Antiques Week In New York

  

  February 1, 2012 We have just returned from our annual trip to New York for antiques week.  This year we had a booth at The Metro Show NYC, which is the show that replaced the TAAS show.  The new show was terrific, with a great attendance and a much more attractive presentation. Our booth was larger than prior years and yet on opening night there was barely room to stand.  Have a look at the images from that night. The show was reviewed by Scudder Smith at the Antiques and The Arts Weekly, click here to read more.
