ANOVER -- Hanover Tavern Foundation is excited to announce its one-of-a-kind Antiques at the Tavern event April 30-May 2. Historic Hanover Tavern will host 20 handselected dealers offering for sale a variety of period furniture, ceramics, silver, pottery, jewelry, art, books, linens, folk art, and more. All proceeds from this event support Hanover Tavern Foundation. The show opens Friday evening with a reception for those guests who appreciate the opportunity for early shopping in a relaxed setting. There will be music, open bar, and hors d’oeuvres. At 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 1, special guest speaker Elizabeth A. Davison, a recognized decorative arts scholar and author, will lecture on “Shenandoah’s Page Valley Style: The Painted Furniture of John Spitler, 1790-1806.” in the Bradley Theater. Lecture and/or dinner package tickets are available.
Forget about those preconceived notions about antiques. The days of grandma’s furniture displayed in the living room “museum” where no one is allowed to go are over. Antique collecting is affordable and fun for all ages. Antiques represent an age of quality craftsmanship, before mass production. It took years to learn a given trade where a craftsman transitioned from apprentice to journeyman to master of the craft. This high-quality craftsmanship has resulted in durable pieces that are hundreds of years old but are still useable today to mix and match with all decors. This is your chance to take home an original in which the beauty, design, quality, and functionality are timeless. Discounted advance tickets are available at Hanovertavern.org for all dates, programs, and packages. Standard tickets will be available at the door. Preview Reception & Early Shopping will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, April 30; Early Shopping from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, May
Have fun and please enjoy responsibly.
