[1]Nearly 80 per cent of all booths are sold for November’s Pier Antique Show in New York City.

“As we approach our second year hosting November’s Pier Antique Show, we’ve received valuable feedback from both dealers and attendees and plan to make some adjustments to this year’s show,” says Dan Darby, Emerald Expositions’ vice-president and U.S. Antique Shows’ general manager.

“We’ve increased the number of dealers on the show floor by adding 25 new booths this year. This will diversify the categories available to attendees by providing them with more options than in previous years. We also plan to expand our ‘Fashion Alley’ section, including new dealers for 2014.”

The Pier Antique Show will be held at Pier 94 NYC Nov. 22 to 23 and features more than 400 exhibitors of quality antique furniture, jewellery, decorative, and fine arts. An edition is also held in March.

The show’s second annual Appraisal Day takes place on Nov. 23 and is organized in partnership with Skinner Auctioneers & Appraisers. Attendees with a valid ticket to the show are invited to bring one item to be appraised by one of Skinner’s three expert appraisers. Each appraiser, including one specifically experienced in antique and vintage jewellery, will provide an unbiased, expert opinion of the attendee’s collectible or antique.

The show will once again be partnering with the Art Deco Society of New York this November. The New York society, who will have a booth onsite during show hours, will provide those with an interest in art deco information on how to become involved in the organization, as well as support the art deco exhibitors participating in the show.
