Annual Delaware Antiques Show 2019

Dear Friends: Thank you for joining us as we celebrate the 56th Annual Delaware Antiques Show. We are grateful you are here to enjoy this treasured tradition that benefits educational programming at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library. Because of your support, we work year-round to inspire the next generation of antiques lovers. This year, we are exploring Ireland, its design influence on decorative arts and its country houses. We are proud to present Irresistibly Irish Decorative Arts from the Winterthur Collection as the featured exhibition. It is a fascinating look at pieces with historic ties to the Emerald Isle as well as the many stories these objects tell us about heritage, ancestry, and the early settlers of the United States. We hope you will join us at the keynote lecture as we go behind-the-scenes for a view into Irish country houses with Robert O’Byrne, renowned author and this year’s Honorary Chair. Winterthur is truly thankful for the many hands that help make the Delaware Antiques Show a success. Thank you to our sponsors and patrons for their financial support of the show as well as our dealers, who provide a wide range of enticing antiques for us all to enjoy. We are also deeply appreciative of the time, effort, and expertise offered by our lecturers, committee members, and show volunteers. Their enthusiasm and passion are key to the show’s success. Please enjoy your time at the Delaware Antiques Show as you browse through a spectacular array of objects from the past. We also welcome you to Winterthur, where an unparalleled collection, garden, and library are waiting for you to explore. With all best wishes, Carol B. Cadou Charles F.
