The 20th annual Delaware Coast Antiques Show and Sale is scheduled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Sept. 7, 8, and 9, at the Convention Center located at 229 Rehoboth Ave. in Rehoboth Beach, Del.
This popular seaside resort and year-round community is situated about halfway between Washington, D.C., and New York City, within an easy drive of Baltimore and Philadelphia. The annual event will feature 35 selected exhibitors offering an impressive range of 18th- and 19th-century American and English period and country furniture and accessories, including fine early china, pottery and glassware, stoneware, Oriental carpets, Chinese export porcelain, quilts and other textiles, English accessories such as tea caddies, fireplace equipment, estate jewelry, and vintage poster art, among much more.
According to show manager Melvin Arion, this event has a reputation as both a “collector and dealer show,” meaning both visiting collectors and antiques dealers can find reasonably priced merchandise. Arion has done an excellent job of bringing together exhibitors who offer an interesting and diverse assortment of antiques and collectibles. In short, just about any show visitor can find a “new” treasure.
In addition, staging the event the weekend following Labor Day means the summer crowds and heavy traffic are gone, but the warm days and evenings remain, making it an ideal time to be in Rehoboth Beach.
There will be seven new exhibitors, including Toby Chittum of Charley Horse Antiques, Partlow and Janet Caroon of Uppity Mermaid Antiques, Judith Lesser of Antiques From Home, Dark Horse Antiques, G. A. Cirillo, Roland Forster, and Adorn Jewelry.
Show hours both Friday and Saturday will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Plenty of parking is available, and the convention center is air-conditioned. In addition, all major credit cards will be accepted.
Show admission will be $8 per person or $7 with this press release or an ad.
