About the Show
The Thomasville Antiques Show Committee is pleased to present thirty of the country’s most prestigious dealers, who will offer the opportunity to view and purchase exquisite antiques. The dealers will showcase antique furniture, paintings, rugs, jewelry, tableware, accessories and collectibles to suit the taste of the casual and the serious collector.
The Show and Sale will be accompanied by several highly acclaimed speakers: Carolyne Roehm, sought-after interior designer and author; Richard Keith Langham, whose clients include Jacqueline Onassis and Hilary Swank; and William Stahl, Jr., the former Vice Chairman and Head of Decorative Arts for Sotheby’s.
The 2011 Thomasville Antiques Show is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Paul J.Vignos who died last June. Dr. Vignos, the father of Kathy Vignos Folsom, was a leading rheumatologist, known worldwide for his medical contributions to the treatment of children, as well as an avid art and antiques collector.
The personal art collection of Dr. Vignos and his wife, Edith Ingalls Vignos, will be donated to the Cleveland Art Museum. Dr.Vignos was a long-time supporter of the show and will be greatly missed by everyone – but especially the antique dealers who loved his wit and keen interest in their objects.
A gala black tie evening will kick-off the 2011 Thomasville Antiques Show & Sale with a benefactors preview, giving patrons the earliest opportunity to view and shop the twenty-nine booths for gifts and personal treasures while enjoying an elegant seated gourmet dinner.
