35th Hingham Antiques Show & Sale

The 35th Hingham Antiques Show & Sale is Saturday, March 23, from 11 to 5 and Sunday, March 24, from 11 to 4. The Hingham Antiques Show is a major fund-raiser for the Hingham High School Green Team. This year the show will bring together 45 dealers from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. There will again be several dealers who specialize in American Furniture of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. There will also be great displays of antique and estate jewelry, antique china, porcelains, textiles, paintings, prints, silver, quilts, early pattern & other glass, Americana, decoys, Orientalia, ephemera, used and rare books, decorative accessories, collectibles, and more. The Hingham Show always has one of the largest attendances of any show in New England. It is not unusual to have 200-300 people waiting in line when it opens on Saturday and customers continue to stream in for two days. The result is lots of happy customers. The main reason for this is the quality and diversity of the antiques being displayed for sale and the wide range of prices for the different antiques; so everyone can go home with something they treasure.
Adult admission is $10 each ($8.00 with a copy of the ad in this paper), and children are free, but they must be accompanied by an adult. Show hours are 11 to 5 on Saturday and 11 to 4 on Sunday. Lunch and snacks are available.
To get to the show take Exit 14 off Route 3 to Route 228. The school is located next to the old Tomasi Nursey, about a mile from Queen Anne’s Corner (Rt 53) (if map questing, the address is 1103 Main St, Hingham, MA, 02043).
