SHOW RECAP: Spring Pier Antiques Show + Interviews with Top Designers and Dealers

Heavy rain might have downed trees and created power outages around the tri-state area, but it couldn't keep the crowds away from last weekend's Stella Pier Antiques Show, which was sponsored by VandM.com.

Internationally known and a staple among New Yorkers, thousands of shoppers visited over the weekend to shop from the over 500 exhibitors that were on hand. If you haven't visited before, The Pier Show is broken up into four distinct sections. Classical & Formal, Modern, Americana & Decorative Arts, and Fashion Alley. With the plethora of dealers and the wide assortment of goods, there has always been something for everyone, and this year didn't disappoint.

Several dealers had booths at the Pier Show, including Braswell Galleries, Leonard Davenport, TOJ Gallery and Terra Mare.

In addition to the teems of shoppers that were scouring the aisles hoping to find that special antique, collectible, or vintage piece that they were going to take home with them, spectators gathered around VandM's booth to see us film some of the best architects and interior designers that exist in the industry. These include Amy Lau, Campion Platt, Christopher Coleman, Jamie Drake, and Paula Caravelli. We were awestruck by many of their interiors, as well as their openness talking with Bill Indursky, Co-Founder of VandM.com.

As you can see, it was a very busy weekend and we're very happy with the way The Pier Antiques Show worked out for everyone. Regarding the interviews, we're editing now, but rest assured, VandM.com will be the first place to catch the video when we're finished. Stay tuned.
