NEW YORK, NY.-The Winter Antiques Show celebrates its 54th year in January as America’s most prestigious antiques show that provides museums, established collectors, dealers, design professionals and first-time buyers with opportunities to see and purchase rare and exceptional pieces showcased by 75 exhibitors specializing in American, English, European and Asian fine and decorative arts. This year, new specialists in Delftware, European sculpture and Americana join or re-join this fully vetted show, which is held January 18-27, and is the standard of excellence by which all other antiques shows in America, if not the world, are measured.
