Antiques show worth the drive even in winter
1986
Overview
My \"driver,\" Bob Starr, had a productive day. Not only did he acquire a pair of lovely 19th century matching chairs and an elegant country French clock-case, but he purchased a wonderful, bow front, Canadian Chippendale chest of drawers from [John Forbes] for $4,800. It had a cherry case with crotch mahogany veneer, tiger maple inlay banding on the top and oval inlays on the front. Forbes found it in New Brunswick. The top inside drawer was stamped: \"Lemont's Variety Store, Glassware, crockery, furniture of all kinds, house furnishing goods, fancy goods and varieties, Queen Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick.\" Other participating dealers included Clay Benson, Glen Manor Galleries, Ishbel's, Canada Jay, Joyce Burne, Rob and Vi Lambert, Barbara McDonald, Richard Fulton, Montague House, Les Antiquites Muche Inc., Jim Barker, Uxbridge Antiques, Copeland Antiques, Maryan Russell and B. C. Kenney. There was a vast selection of merchandise including jewelry, oak, oil lamps, textiles, treen, folk art and nostalgia. Not only is Starr a great antique dealer and an excellent chauffeur, but he is also a master chef. To top off a perfect day he made a wonderful shrimp-garlic-tomato sauce served on homemade pasta, accompanied by an imported bottle of French wine from his wine cellar and a tangy salad. All this was served on a magnificent 18th century chair-table, still retaining its original green paint, in the Starrs' splendid 1860s coach house.
