Upcoming Show Information

We hope all of you are well and staying safe as we adjust to the new daily realities of the Covid-19 pandemic. We send all of our support and best wishes to each of you who is battling this illness and we send you our wishes for a successful recovery.

As is apparent, the shows that we participate in have all been impacted by the rapid spread this terrible illness. We want to update you about information that we currently have:

1. For those of you who missed my previous announcement, the 2020 Philadelphia [Antique and Art] Show has been cancelled for 2020. It will be held again next year, 2021.

2. The ADA (Antique Dealers’ Association of America), made up of the finest of dealers in American antiques and art, has decided to revive our ADA Online Antiques and Art Show. In Summary, “Our members are excited to revive this innovative event and we anticipate great offerings from our diverse dealers. We have asked our dealers to showcase items that they held back for the shows that have been cancelled. So expect to see the best in American (and some European) antiques, fine art, folk art, Americana, Native American, and other decorative arts.” The show will run April 24-April 27, 2020. More information can be found at http://www.adadealers.com/html/online_show.php. We will post additional information on our Website Show Page as time gets closer. Dealers in this show plan on offering first rate and often fresh material that they had planned on offering at the Philadelphia Show and other shows. Be sure to pay attention to the offerings when they are posted.

3. We just heard that SWAIA has officially postponed Indian Market 2020, which was scheduled to be held in Santa Fe August 15-16. While not a surprise, given the ongoing spread and ferocity of the virus, the cancellation of this show is sobering news. It will have a major negative impact on all the artists and businesses of Santa Fe as it provides the majority of annual income to all these people. To read more, click this announcement in the Santa Fe New Mexican: https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/coronavirus/santa-fe-indian-market-called-off-this-summer-swaia-eyes-virtual-alternative/article_4a4c927c-7698-11ea-ba43-3ba72ed84f36.html

4. The Whitehawk Antique Indian and Ethnographic Show in Santa Fe August 7-10, 2020 is still scheduled as of now. We will keep you informed if this changes.

Art brings joy to people. As the Navajo believe, we hope you can “walk in beauty”. We find immersing ourselves in the art that we love helps bring comfort to us.

THESE ANXIOUS TIMES

Dear Friends,

In these times of anxiety, we want to wish you wellness and good health. Please stay safe.

We are following health advisors’ recommendations and are working out of our home but we are still available if you want to discuss any art that we might have. Our contact information remains the same.

One other piece of news: The Philadelphia Show (formerly the Philadelphia Antiques and Art Show), which was scheduled for late April, has been cancelled. We will be posting new inventory and sending blogs to let you see some of the exciting things that we have recently acquired.

All the best,

Marcy and Richard

The Art, Design & Antiques Show at Wallace Hall, January 24-26, NYC

The 5th Art, Design & Antiques Show will be opening very soon! This boutique show has steadily generated enthusiasm for its variety of specialties represented, the quality of the offerings, and the ease of wandering around and speaking with the dealers.

It takes place during Antiques Week in New York City and is held at St Ignatius Church on Park AVenue and 84th Street.

Complimentary tickets are available to all. Print this blog or just the ticket and bring a friend with you to the show!

Large Pictorial Kewa (Santo Domingo) storage jar just arrived

We are excited to offer this stunning large pictorial Kewa jar which we just acquired. Pots such as this are rare.

Late Classic Chief's blanket and the Whitehawk Antiques Show

In anticipation of the upcoming Whitehawk Antiques Show, we are offering collectors the first opportunity to purchase a unique and very special Late Classic Chief's blanket. This blanket has been in a private collection for many years. We are thrilled to be able to offer it here first (through our website) and then at the Whitehawk Antiques Show in a few weeks.

Isn't this a fascinating blanket? Classic in form and feel, completely innovative in the addition of tufts of the same wools sewn onto all four sides. We can only conclude that the weaver was reacting to all the dislocation and rapid changes that were occurring to the Navajo in the 1870s and 1880s. The red wool is raveled,  3 ply synthetic dyed commercial wool. The blue is indigo handspun and the white and brown wools are natural handspun.
