The 28th annual Chester County Antiques Show, benefiting the Chester County Historical Society, is returning for its second year to the historic Westtown School near West Chester, Pennsylvania, the weekend of March 19 to 21. This year’s Honorary Show Chairs are Leonard A. King, President of the Devon Horse Show, and his wife, Pat. In support of the “Equestrian Traditions of Chester County” theme, rarely seen trophies from the Devon Horse Show, including the Wanamaker trophy, will be showcased. Memorabilia from private collections in the Chester County equestrian community will complete this remarkable “History of Champions” loan exhibit.?
Described by Maine Antiques Digest as “the best venue for an antiques show in the Delaware Valley,” Westtown School’s spacious new field house allows ample room for 59 dealers from eleven states to display their beautiful collections of antiques for purchase. With the winning combination of PECO as the renewed Presenting Sponsor, the 2010 Antiques Show is sure to be another winner. There is a Preview Party on Friday, March 19, to get an early viewing of this special loan exhibit and the wonderful array of beautiful antiques, as well as meeting the honorary show chairs, CCHS Board of Trustees, and fellow supporters.
Whether you are interested in purchasing or simply exploring a truly outstanding collection of antiques, the 2010 Chester County Antique Show is a must-see! The show runs all weekend from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. General admission is only $15 and $12 for CCHS members. Complimentary lectures will be available on Saturday and expert appraisals are available on Sunday.
