The 28th annual Exposition of 20th Century Decorative Arts returns to a familiar location--The Ernst Community Cultural Center after an absence of 4 years. The Expo brings together more than 40 dealers representing all major design movements or the 20th century including Arts & Crafts, Art Deco, Art Moderne, Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern, and Atomic. Dealers have been encouraged to bring special world's fair ephemera to this year's show. The Expo is the nation's longest running Modernism Show and the only show run by volunteers from a non-profit organization.
The Expo offers something for everyone, from interior decorators seeking that "perfect" accent piece for their latest commission, to experieinced collectors looking for a rare piece to complete their collection, to young shoppers looking to furnish their first home or apartment on a budget.
The Expo combines the dazzle of gleaming chrome and blue mirror, vintage attire, ample parking, nearby ATM service, and available refreshments. Furniture, lamps, vintage clothing, pottery, World’s Fair ephemera, jewelry, clocks, watches, posters, pottery, art glass, and books are just a few of the items to be offered for sale from the Art Deco, Atomic Age, and Modernism periods.
Silent Auction--ADSW will auction 8 Art Deco Chandeliers and a pair of matching wall sconces Saturday, June 4th. Bidding on the auction items closes at 6:45 PM. Auction items must be removed by 3 PM, Sunday, June 5, 2011.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Art Deco Society and the Chinese Community Church of Washington. The Chinese Community Church donated the auction items.
A leather billfold from the 1939 New York World's Fair will also be auctioned. The auction for the billfold will close Sunday, June 5th at 4:00 PM.
