Now celebrating its 31st year, the Baltimore Summer Antiques Show will make its annual return this summer to the Baltimore Convention Center August 25-28 (the weekend prior to Labor Day, which was formerly the show’s annual date). Art and antique aficionados from across the country and around the world will have the opportunity to view and purchase from the diverse collections of more than 550 international exhibitors drawn from the United States, Canada, France, Italy, England, China and Japan. Guests will have access to an exquisite array of rare treasures from the last several thousand years, including furniture, American and European silver, major works of art, Asian antiquities, porcelain, Americana, antique and estate jewelry, glass, textiles and more. Produced by the Palm Beach Show Group, the Baltimore Summer Antiques Show is Maryland’s largest antiques event and the largest indoor antiques show in the country. A highlight of the event will be the 70-dealer Antiquarian Book Fair within the show that will offer rare books, first editions, autographs, fine manuscripts and unusual bibliographical material. In addition, the show will feature an educational lecture series that is free to the public as well as show attendees. The lecture series will include presentations on a wide array of topics by respected dealers and industry experts. IMAGE SHOWN: A rare large-size carnival gaming wheel made of eastern pine with polychrome paint decoration. Excellent condition, missing the spinning arm and posts, paint is in untouched original condition. The visual effect of the compass star, along with the vibrant colors, makes this piece a true work of art. Originally found in the Berkshires, Massachusetts. New England, circa 1900.
