Philadelphia Antiques Show 2022

102 A LOOK BACK Beatrice B. Garvan: Volunteer and Curator Emerita, Philadelphia Museum of Art “I volunteered at the Philadelphia Antiques Show for many years. I distinctly remember chairing the 1977 loan exhibit, Underfoot: Floor Coverings Used in America . And, of course, when I was a curator at the museum for many years, we bought from the dealers. I got to know the dealers—and that was as important as anything for the museum. For instance, I was particularly excited when the dealers Jim and Nancy Glazer whom I had gotten to know called me about a zinger of a Pennsylvania German chest they had acquired. I took a look and sure enough, the museum acquired it and it remains one of the anchors of the Pennsylvania German collection.” Chest over Drawers , 1792, Formerly attributed to John Beiber, American, 1768-1825. Made for Magdalena Leabelsperger, American, 1772-1884. Philadelphia Museum of Art: Purchased with the Thomas Skelton Harrison Fund, the Fiske Kimball Fund, and the Joseph E. Temple Fund, 1982, 1982-68-1 Robert and Katharine Booth: Collectors “Antiques have added so much to our lives, creating new scholarship and dear friendships lasting many years. Collecting antiques and connecting with friends during the Philadelphia Antiques Show has been a treasured tradition.” Robert and Katharine Booth
