RMR Antique show and sale in
Westmount
On Saturday April 6th 2013, about
30 dealers from Quebec and Ontario were on hand for an antique show and sale
held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Royal Montreal Regiment, 4625 Ste. Catherine
St. in Westmount.
Primitive and formal antique furniture,
folk art, pottery, estate jewellery, coins, collectibles and 20th-century
design objects were among items available for sale.
Admission was $6, free for children under
12.
The show was full of atmosphere with an
impressive crowd showing up. The quality and quantity of merchandise was
extraordinary! It was great place to find and discover treasures but patience
and persistence was required. Deals were being made and watching the people go
by with their treasures was a hoot. All the participants were amiable and
willing to share their passion for antiques. A snack bar was operating during
the show.
Participating dealers include:
* Jamie Stalker of Ruth Stalker Antiques in
Westmount, which carries early Canadiana;
* Robert Trudel of Yama-chiche, with pine
furniture, country collectibles and vintage advertising items;
* Brian Davies of Brian Davies Fine Art and
Antiques in Knowlton, who brought to the sale such items as an unusual cane
stand, an 18th-century spice cabinet and 19th-century Canadian prints and oil
paintings by artists including Romeo Vincelette, Harold Beament and Terry
Tomalty;
* Montrealer Mark Zannis, who specializes
in contemporary folk art, featured carved figures by Quebec families Trygg,
Hannah, Bourgault, Bouchard and Bolduc in his booth, along with hooked rugs and
paintings;

china and paintings;
