Welcome to The 2010 Christ Church Grosse Pointe Antiques Show
The Christ Church Antiques Show celebrates its 26th year as one of the Midwest’s most prestigious collecting events, featuring over 30 professional dealers who offer a vast range of inventories and price points on items from a broad range of designs, periods, and regions in a fully vetted show.
The show opens on Thursday, June 3 with a Preview Party and Silent Auction and runs through Sunday, June 6, 2010. This year’s Silent Auction highlights a range of items including a luxury trip to Rome with accommodations at Excelsior Hotel, named to Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List. Additional items up for auction will be found at the show website.
Renowned Interior Designer Barry Dixon is the 2010 featured lecturer. Mr. Dixon is an interior designer practicing in the Virginia countryside near Washington, DC, who has taken his own brand of warmly hospitable Southern design style to projects around the world. A childhood spent abroad in exotic locales such as India, South Africa & French Polynesia affords his work a global perspective. Multiple magazine pictorials (Southern Accents, Veranda, House Beautiful, Metropolitan Home, Traditional Home) as well as numerous television appearances (Good Morning America, HGTV) have spurred the success of his furniture line with Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth. Recent accomplishments include a rug collection with Megerian and a newly-launched fabric collection for Vervain/S. Harris. His new book Barry Dixon Interiors is his first and will be signed immediately following the lecture on Friday, June 4.
Saturday, June 5, brings an appraisal clinic as well as a docent-led tour of the historic church highlighting the current restoration of the stained and leaded glass windows. Throughout the show weekend, the Angel Cafe will offer light fare. A free shuttle on Friday and Saturday will enable guests to visit some of the area’s most renowned restaurants.
The Christ Church Antiques Show raises funds to support Music and Outreach at Christ Church Grosse Pointe. It is an educational and collecting event where ideas, expertise, and passion for antiques, music, and culture can flourish.
