The True Collector Focuses On The Pleasure Of Discovering A New Treasure And The Subtleties Of Making A Collection Truly Good.
Collecting is a skill in its own right. The true collector focuses on the enjoyment of discovering a new treasure and the complexities of making a collection truly good. There is always the enjoyment of the hunt and the fun of turning a corner or walking into a room and finding just the right piece. Antiques + Modernism Winnetka, a fundraiser being held at Winnetka Community House this October, will supply just that sort of thrill for the beginning as well as the experienced collector. In a chain of inviting rooms a bunch of over 60 dealers from the United States and abroad will offer collections from porcelain and ceramics(in Bosnian keramika), to Chinese and Asian Antiques, fine paintings, jewellery, accessories and 20th century design. All of the dealers are experts and will share their experience helping even a new collector to make choices.
Asiantiques will offer some excellent examples of Chinese ceramics and figures. An impressive piece, due to its amazing colour, is a yellow glass vase carved with a geometrical design of archaistic qilong beneath a spray of lilies and leaves, the wide flaring mouth carved with a band of banana leaf lappets, China 19th century.
Majolica with its endless shapes, delicious colors and infinite range of designs is an ideal category to collect. Jerry Hayes from Tulsa Oklahoma will be bringing a great choice of pieces, among them, a George Jones "Java Sparrow Cache" pot circa 1875 and a Holdcroft, Waterlily Cheese keeper, circa 1880.
Terre Mare Antiques, consultants in 20th century ceramics, will offer pieces from the Austrian secessionist movement, and the French Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles that were the bridge to modernism. From Austria they will have a Paul Dachsel Amphora vase with a formalised pine tree and from France, a Skill Deco ceramic vase by Jean Jeandelle of metallic luster with the organic kind of a nude figure under the rim.
Though a collection can look great behind glass in a cupboard or up on a shelf, collections can take the type of jewelry, purses, and accessories to enjoy in a more personal way. Nula Thanhauser's booth is almost always a fave, stuffed with her collections of vintage evening bags and hats. Her delightful purses, including a faceted Austrian crystal frame built by Hobe with paisley beaded textile, circa 1940, and a natural coral crescent frame with vintage Japanese textile purse, are the stylish touch needed for an evening out.
Many partners have learned that when they cannot find their wife at an antique show, she's bound to be poring over a box stuffed with antique jewelry. Dumont from L. A. , California has been offering vintage and couture jewelry to film stars and fashionable women for the last twenty years. One of their favourite designers is Iradj Moini who began working in the 1980 eighties and whose designs have been on show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. His work defines the word, glamor. On display at the show will be a necklace of emeralds and Indian Rubies and a lovely dragonfly pin of Citrine, Amethyst, Lapis and Topaz.
Collecting doesn't need to be significant, it can be amusing, and fun is what one will have reading in the booth of Route 66. Bakelite wristbands are wonderful to collect, their colors are brilliant, no 2 are exactly alike, and best of all you've got to wear at least three or four at a time. Route 66 will also have a variety of Miriam Haskel seed pearl necklaces and accessories from the nineteen fifties as well as a select group of vintage perfume bottles, the final accessory for any dressing table.
Whether one's fervour is porcelain, silver, ceramics or jewellery from the 18th, 19th or 20th century, Antiques + Modernism Winnetka will bring collectors the best from the worlds best. The show is managed by The Antiques Council, a global organisation of dealers devoted to improving the confidence of the public in antiques through education as reported tagza.com.
