I couldn't get back to my computer fast enough to share with you a few pictures from this year's High Point Antiques and Design Center. I had the most exciting morning talking with the knowledgeable antique vendors at the show and watching as they transformed their spaces into still life just waiting for my camera. I love being there before the show opens. It's like Christmas morning as everyone unwraps their treasures. Antique dealers, in general, are such interesting people to talk with, eager to share their stories and their favorite acquisition's provenance.
Housed in what was once a turn-of-the-century furniture factory, the Antique & Design Center has quickly become a favorite venue of the world's savviest retailers and designers. Exhibitors will find nearly 80 hand-picked dealers and artisans offering exquisite antiques, original works of art, and one-of-a-kind finds to set their showrooms apart.
The Antique & Design Center is located on the Ground and Mezzanine levels of historic Market Square, just beyond the Suites and Salon. Free parking is available on Tomlinson St. The venue will remain open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, October 21, and through Market Week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Antique & Design Center closes on Thursday, October 27th, at noon.

The five tea canisters are a matched set...amazing!
This hand carved antique mantle features a hand carved shell motif. Remnants of an earlier painted finish give this one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece added charm.
No two panels are alike. The detail is exquisite!

The etched glass panel that features the jumping stag was from a set that once graced the walls of a sophisticated hotel in New York.
Today's interior design is all about the mix and using antiques to add interesting textures, colors, graphic shapes and one-of-a-kind elements. Antiques keep spaces interesting, tell a story and spark thoughtful conversations.
These large torchieres are wired for gas. I can only imagine how beautiful they were once-upon-a-time illuminated on some grand home or carriage house. I LOVE the dog statue still covered in moss!
This stunning collection of maastricht stoneware from Belgium and Holland took my breath away...I mean every piece is absolutely perfect. My favorite piece is the wine or champagne bucket on the top shelf in the picture below.

I think these old columns capitals would be incredibly lovely on a buffet table as a platform to hold a flower arrangement or topped with serving platters.
