Celebrating its fifth year, the Newport Antiques Show has become a seminal event for antique lovers in New England and abroad. Over forty of the industry’s finest dealers will showcase the best the antiques world has to offer to over 2,500 visitors at the Stephen P. Cabot and Archer Harman Ice Center at St. George’s School in Middletown, RI. All proceeds benefit The Newport Historical Society and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Newport County. The 2011 loan exhibition will feature 18th and 19th century embroidered samplers from the Newport Historical Society’s collections. A visiting scholar will discuss these textiles during a morning lecture on Saturday, August 13. Gala Preview Party is Aug. 12, 6pm
