51st Annual Delaware Show

— 1 — Dear Friends: It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 51st annual Delaware Antiques Show, an unparalleled assemblage of the best decorative and fine arts available in the market today. Each year this much-anticipated event has risen in stature, joining the ranks of the top Americana shows and attracting both seasoned and fledgling collectors and enthusiasts. Our dealers are among the most knowledgeable in their fields and welcome the opportunity to encourage and educate all who enter their booths. The show benefits Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, recognized internationally for offering not only superb educational programming but also the opportunity to view an unrivaled collection of decorative arts in Henry Francis du Pont’s family home. From the graduate studies in material culture and conservation to the annual furniture and ceramics conferences and weekly special lectures, Winterthur sponsors a variety of programs and events for the serious scholar and general public alike. I wish to express our appreciation to all who work tirelessly to create this beautiful show, from our exceptional management to the dedicated dealers, staff, and volunteers. And a special thank you to our ever-increasing number of visitors—making this the event no one wants to miss! Sincerely, Katharine Booth Chair, Board of Trustees Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library
