AT 63 years old (or young), the Winter Antiques Show fully lives up to its popular prefix as ‘venerable’. The fair, whose long-term beneficiary has been the East Side House Settlement in the Bronx, has been pulling the visitors into Manhattan in the first frosty weeks of the New Year for decades.
Staged at the Park Lane Armory in the heart of Manhattan, it starts with a glitzy ticket-only opening night party, this year on January 19, and continues until January 29.
Mixing Americana, folk art and classic antiques, the high return rate of its exhibitors also testifies to the popularity of this formula. Of the 70 exhibitors who are standing this month, 61 were present last year.
