The 32nd Annual Baltimore Summer Antiques Show, taking place August 23-26 at the Baltimore Convention Center is set to be the largest hard-wall show of its kind ever produced. With more than 575 dealers set to showcase their collections of fine art, antiques, and jewelry, the show has completely sold out of all exhibitor space.

“When we calculated the number of hard-walls we will be using to build the show this year we realized that it exceeds anything we have ever done before,” stated Scott Diament, CEO of the Palm Beach Show Group, producers of the Baltimore Summer Antiques Show. “I believe the 2012 Baltimore Summer Antiques Show to be the largest fine art, antique and jewelry event in hard wall ever produced in the history of the World!”

The show attracts fine art dealers and serious collectors from around the globe and is known as the most important silver show in the nation, with more than 30 leading silver specialists ranging from early coin, Georgian, Irish, Russian and Victorian to local Baltimore Stieff, modern Louis Tiffany and George Jensen. The quality and quantity of antique and fine estate jewelry on offer is the attraction for many knowledgeable patrons seeking bargains for both personal use and resale inventory. In addition, the show boasts more than 35 dealers specializing in Japanese and Chinese art and antiques.

“The selection, quality and attendance gets better every year,” said Michael Teller of TK Asian Antiquities. “The Palm Beach Show Group provides dealers and attendees with a little extra care that you don’t see at many other shows.”

The Baltimore Summer Antiques Show transforms the Baltimore Convention Center into an epic experience for all who attend. From the white carpet lined aisles, to the lavish floral arrangements and full service restaurants located in the center of the show, the Baltimore Summer Antiques Show is a must attend event for the novice buyer to the serious collector. 

“It would take a lifetime for someone to experience everything that the Baltimore Summer Antiques Show has to offer,” stated Diament. “This is the ‘must attend’ event and kick-off show of the season for every collector, curator and connoisseur.”
