Meet George Washington

Antique lovers will get a presidential welcome at the show.  George Washington, as brought to life by renowned re-enactor Carl Closs, will be on hand for three full days to mark the show’s 60th anniversary.  Filled with fun facts about the Father of His Country, Carl will help visitors discover the “real” George Washington.  He’ll also mark the show’s official opening by a ribbon cutting at the preview.

Art and Antiques Appraisers Offer Free Advice

Your 401(k) may no longer be worth much, but what about those antique candlesticks you inherited? Members of the International Society of Appraisers will be on hand to provide you a clear understanding of the process of professional antiques and fine art appraisal. They'll also answer questions and offer advice about selling, insuring, or donating your antiques and works of art. Verbal or written appraisals of individual items or collections will not be provided. Visits to the ISA exhibit require general admission tickets to the show.

Learn to Mix Old and New

Washington-based designer Wayne Zeigler will show how 21st Century homeowners are decorating with antiques in a lecture titled “Antiques in Contemporary Interiors,” on Saturday, November 15, at 10:00 am.  With more than 35 years experience, Wayne has decorated residences, embassies, offices and retail establishments using antiques.  His lecture will be held in the Crowne Plaza Alexandria, 901 North Fairfax Street.  Admission is $10 per person at the door.
