Silver Medals

Sinclair and Raye Heather Chen acquired their first piece of antique silver soon after they married. "We were in Hong Kong, strolling hand in hand, when we saw this beautiful silver box for sale. We loved it, so we bought it," Mrs. Chen said. They did not plan to make a collection, but gradually their silver treasures grew. "We both love the arts: museums, history, culture. Collecting silver was something new that we did together." The Chen Collection, now numbering 500 pieces, focuses on...

She's One Good Egg

Mitzi Perdue only moved to New York City in the spring, but since that time, as befits an accomplished social hostess, 640 people have flocked to her apartment at 800 Fifth Ave. for charity fund-raisers and literary launches. It's not just the causes that have proved the attraction. Mrs. Perdue's home contains a global trove of treasures, comprising European, Russian, and Chinese antiques. To attend Mrs. Perdue's social occasions is akin to attending an antiques fair with a party to boot. Yet...

All Hail Americana

Several pieces of exceptional American antiques will hit the auction block here at the end of this week. Sotheby's holds a Friday morning sale of a collection of Americana belonging to the late Rear Admiral Edward Peerman Moore. The admiral and his wife were avid collectors whose friendship with the furniture dealer Israel Sack helped form one of the 20th century's highest-quality collections. Among the Moore items up for sale is a Chippendale cherrywood block-front chest of drawers probably...

The People's House

Gracie Mansion has seen its share of ups and downs. The site of the mayor's official residence has been bombed, foreclosed on, and used as an ice cream parlor. Mayor Bloomberg has never lived in the space. He refers to the building that overlooks Hell Gate, where the Harlem and East rivers meet, as "The People's House," and has increased accessibility to the public and to city agencies. Fittingly, the contents of the house reflect the varied history of the building — and the city. One of the...

Beauty of the Artful Dodgers

Can an imitation ever beat the real thing? That's the question 4,000 vintage car collectors and fans will be asking this weekend when they travel to the Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance in Westport, Conn. In addition to rare and expensive Duesenbergs, Delahayes, and Horches, they can also expect to see, if maybe not notice, a display of "artful dodgers," or cars that are acknowledged to be reproductions: replicas, kit-cars, and out-and-out copies of classic car models. Some of the "artful...

Upstate Treasure-Hunting

Antiques have been the impetus for the upstate town of Hudson's renaissance from dereliction to flourishing weekend destination. Located just two hours north of Manhattan, it is home to shops that cater to weekend browsers and serious collectors. The 60 storefronts on Hudson's Warren Street sell everything from Americana to Biedermeier, Edwardian to Eames — in just seven blocks. When dealer Alain Pioton — who specializes in French antiques — arrived in 1982, he opened Hudson Antiques Center...

A Studio Craft Going Glam

Anyone who thinks that all the major figures of postwar American furniture have been accounted for should think again, and think hard about the American Studio Furniture movement. Rizzoli in November will publish "Modern Americana: Studio Furniture from High Craft to High Glam," an ambitious survey of 26 furniture makers, designers, and decorators. Edited by Todd Merrill, a well-known dealer in postwar American furniture, and Julie V. Iovine, editor of the Architect's Newspaper, "Modern...

Jerusalem's Hip, Historic 'Hood'

JERUSALEM — In an age when people spend more time in front of their computer screens than they do interacting face-to-face, a noted architect has skillfully drawn on his knowledge of history and antiques to design one of the most striking and beautiful urban spaces in the world. Most of the Mamila-Alrov Quarter opened this season in Jerusalem, capping off a 35-year quest of the Canadian-Israeli architect Moshe Safdie to create a thoroughly modern shopping and dining destination just outside the...

Shipping Precious Loot Locally

Shopping for antiques can be as easy as opening your wallet. But after you score a great deal on that mahogany drop-leaf table in Brooklyn, how do you get it home to the Upper East Side? Enter the antiques handlers. They are the movers — if not shakers — of New York's antiques market. But the people who pack, ship, and truck all manner of old and breathtakingly expensive things through the city's nexus of galleries, auction houses, private homes, and museums need more than muscle. Lugging is...

Paris Set for 24th Biennale des Antiquaires

Perhaps the mostly highly anticipated international antiques and fine arts fair, the 24th Biennale des Antiquaires, will open in Paris on September 11 and run through the 21st. The fair is housed at the Grand Palais — a grand open space with Art Nouveau ironwork and glass-topped ceilings — located just off the Champs-Elysées. This year, the Biennale, organized by the Syndicat National des Antiquaires, will showcase 8,000 objects in every decorative style from the seventh century to the 1970s...

Bringing It Back Intact

Global shoppers looking to adorn their homes with found treasures such as Victorian crystoleums and Barbolla mirrors stroll London's Portobello Road. Across the channel, the Biennale des Antiquaires (whose Web site is bdafrance.eu) comes to the Grand Palais in Paris September 11-21. Artworks dating from the Middle Ages, prized manuscripts, and modern designs by Prouvé, Le Corbusier, and Ettore Sottsass are yours for the taking. But the hard work isn't just the acquisition of, say, a fabulous...

Teaching Children the Benefits of Restoration

One of the most desirable features of antique furniture is the patina that comes with age — so much so that an aggressive refinishing job will often diminish the market value of a piece. Dirt and grime aren't as glamorous, however, when the antique in question is a prominent work of public, outdoor art. That's why the area around Grant's Tomb in Morningside Heights is once again home to hundreds of busy volunteers as they restore "The Rolling Bench," a 35-year-old, multicolor mosaic sculpture...

Vintage Automobiles in the Litchfield Hills

Antique car enthusiasts from the Northeast and beyond will travel to Lime Rock Park this weekend for the annual Rolex Vintage Festival of historic car races, car shows, and coveting thy neighbor's car. The hilly, winding, recently repaved racetrack, which sits at the foot of the Berkshires in Connecticut's rural Litchfield Hills, occupies a sacred place in American motor sports. Built by the son of a local farmer who laid out the course with a bulldozer, the 1.54-mile track opened in 1957...

Williamsburg, Now Rising on the Antiques Map

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, may be known for its edge-pushing art and music scenes, but when it comes to antiques, the neighborhood watchword is "used." Home to innumerable thrift, vintage, and secondhand stores, Williamsburg has comparatively little in the way of antiques. But that may be changing. Where there's money, there's a market for antiques. And that scene is taking shape along Grand Street, running west from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to the East River. Portmanteau (81 Grand St., near...

Sotheby's To Sell British Guns

Every serious sportsman knows that by late August, the Scottish Highlands offer an array of riches. Grouse season is a couple weeks under way. Deer stalking is at its peak, and the fly-fishing doesn't get any better. Sotheby's annual sale of antique sporting guns at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland is popular this time of year because winning bidders can walk out the door and take to the field with their elegantly engraved rifles and shotguns. City bankers and sundry members of the English...

Key Moments in Art Deco

1925 The Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes takes place in Paris from April to October. It is believed that the name "Art Deco" originated at this fair, where major designers Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann and Jules LeLeu showed their work. 1928 Construction begins on New York's Chrysler Building on September 19. Designed by William Van Alen, the building was one of the first clad with a stainless steel façade. Its terraced crescent shapes and automobile motifs make...

Shopping for Art Deco in Manhattan

If there's a genre of antiques that suits New York best, it is Art Deco. Even today, the city still dreams in the Deco style, which reached its peak between the mid-1920s and World War II. Manhattan is dotted with first-rate examples of the streamlined, machine-age, and, above all, elegant style, from the Chrysler Building to the Sherry Netherland Hotel. "Deco represented modernity," historian David Garrard Lowe said. Mr. Lowe, who is the author of "Art Deco New York," said that while the style...

Masks, Jade & More

While all eyes are on the athletes at the Olympic Games in Beijing, collectors of Chinese art and antiques will have a chance to flex their competitive muscles, too. On August 24, the I.M. Chait Gallery's International Fine Arts Auction in Beverly Hills, Calif., will feature sculpture, porcelains, and a substantial cache of jade carvings. The Chait Gallery customarily holds the majority of its sales in New York City, but this month's sale is located on the West Coast to accommodate the growing...

Wallpaper Lives On

Wallpaper makes the background, rather than the main attraction of a room. But at Secondhand Rose, the reverse is true: wallpaper is front and center. The store, which bills itself as the largest seller of antique wallpaper in the world, occupies the first two floors of a cast-iron storefront on Duane Street in TriBeCa. Though it also trades in antiques and furniture, Secondhand Rose's specialty is wallpaper — 50,000 rolls of it, lining the back of the store and filling a second-story attic...

Rooms Preserved in Watercolor Paintings

Henry James described his novel "The Spoils of Poynton" — in which a mother and a son fall out concerning the fate of the contents of the family home — as nothing less than a tragedy about furniture. It is "a story of cabinets and chairs and tables," he wrote in the preface to the 1908 edition, and of the "passions, the faculties, the forces [that] their beauty ... like that of antique Helen of Troy, set[s] in motion." If this sounds extreme, it was an extremism characteristic of the age. In...
