"Sailing Vessel on the Ocean," by Clarence E. Braley (1858-1925) from Walker-Cunningham Fine Art

Nearly 50 art and antique dealers will exhibit at the inaugural Wayside Inn Antiques Show, Friday through Sunday, in Sudbury, Mass.

A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to the Wayside Inn Historic Site, the nonprofit corporation that oversees the sprawling 122-acre grounds and historic inn made famous in Longfellow's "Tales of the Wayside Inn."

Keith Funston of Funston Antiques will display his unique wares in the form of a recreated wunderkammer, or wonder chamber, akin to the rooms created in Europe during the Age of Discovery, circa 1500 to 1650, whereby collectors would display all sorts of items culled from the New World together with wonder-inspiring things made by local artists.
