Dealers Dig Deep At Antique Garden Furniture Show & Sale

For two days, tons of carved and cast stone, wooden furniture, zinc statues, marble carvings and table tops, and all manner of cast iron, are either lugged or fork-lifted into the large tent where 35 antiques dealers stack and arrange these objects to offer for sale.

Meanwhile, in an adjoining tent, the staff of the botanical garden is busy setting up tables laden with all kinds of rare and desirable plants, making ready to tempt every gardener who walks into the show. In fact, preview night visitors have to go past the plants to reach the dealer exhibits, and it takes some of them a long time and many plant purchases to get there.

The show previewed on Thursday evening, April 28, and continued for the next three days. Mid-afternoon on Thursday, Mother Nature threatened with dark clouds and heavy rains, but the predicted winds did not materialize in force and the skies were clear by the time the guests arrived. And they came in big numbers, filling the tent and angling to get into some of the overcrowded booths.

Catherine Sweeney Singer, director, reported that the show went well for the majority of the exhibitors, and the gate was up ten percent over last year. "We were under a tornado watch a few hours before show's preview opened, and had plans to evacuate the tent, but fortunately it did not happen and did not seem to have any bearing on attendance that night," she said. "The dealers worked hard, brought some wonderful things and set up attractive booths, which made for an interesting and well-attended show," she added.

Linda and Howard Stein of Solebury, Penn., shared a booth with Scott Estepp, Cincinnati, Ohio, and showed a cast iron quarter-round plant stand, French, dating circa 1900, and a cast stone, two-piece birdbath, circa 1930, with fluted bowl. Seated in the bowl of water was a cast stone cat, circa 1950. "That's an interesting picture hanging over there," Howard said, pointing out a large oil on board painting of five women planting and maintaining their victory garden. It was dated 1944.

A Grand Tour Neapolitan bronze of a gladiator, circa 1920, was shown on the top of a table in the booth of Michael Trapp of West Cornwall, Conn. Dating from the Nineteenth Century was a large pair of terracotta jars, Italian, on lion paw feet, and a collection of six ulin wood paddles, Borneo, dated circa 1920.
