5 Treasures from Winter Antiques Show Dealers

Photo: The Martha Blog / Martha Stewart
I just attended the 58th Annual Winter Antiques Show at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan. Glittering event! The Who's Who of design was in full force as well as exhibitors from all over the world, showing only the finest antiques ranging from furniture to fine art and jewelry. The quality was staggeringly high ... and so were the prices. A personal favorite is artist Romare Bearden, and one of his smaller works was selling for $180,000. Here are five antiques that took my breath away. Click on each photo for more information.
Associated Artists: Herter Brothers Library Writing Desk c. 1880

Hostler Burrows: 1920s Danish Floor Urn for Herman Kahler
Jonathan Boos Gallery: Under the Overpass by Henry Koerner, 1949
Moderne Gallery: Anthroposophical Cabinet by Sigfried Pütz
Jeffrey Tillou Antiques: George III Sofa c. 1765



As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, antiquing is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. If you're interested in learning more about antiques and the decorative arts, then I encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

That lounge chair sofa is very unique! The artwork is amazing. If only I had the spare $35,000 to drop on it!

Will be sharing it over on my site www.chaiseloungechairsofa.com as well! I don't get to show many antiques.

Such a great find! Will be sharing it over on my site as well if that is okay.
