I am delighted to announce that I have been asked to exhibit antique American flags once again at New York's Union League Club. One of the city’s most exclusive institutions, the Union League
was founded during the Civil War in 1863 by a group of concerned and influential citizens, to aid President Abraham Lincoln in his quest to preserve the Union. Over ensuing years, the club
has quietly rendered distinguished service to the nation. Its members were instrumental in establishing The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1870, played an essential role in the founding of
the American Red Cross, and helped to erect both the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor and the Lincoln Monument in Union Square.
Many prominent civic, state and national leaders have enjoyed membership in the ULC. Theodore Roosevelt managed his early political career from the Club’s chambers and chose them as a place
to hold interrogations during the time when he served as New York’s Chief of Police. Fifteen Presidents, seven Senators, many Congressmen, cabinet members, diplomats, and scores of CEO’s
of major corporations have been members during the past hundred and forty years. J. Pierpont Morgan was a regular, along with John Jay, William Cullen Bryant, Chester Arthur, and Thomas Nast.
During this time the Union League has become home to important, original oil paintings of all but one of the Republican American Presidents, as well as other significant works of art.
The Union League Club is located at 38 East 37th Street, New York, New York 10016
The show will open with a champagne preview on the evening of May 11th from 6:30 - 8:30 PM. Thereafter it will be open daily until May 29th. Call or email me to RSVP for the champagne
preview or to arrange a private appointment with me to view the exhibit. My office number is (717) 502-1281 and my mobile is (717) 676-0545. All items offered are available for purchase.
** Please note that the club rules prohibit jeans, shorts, and cell phone use (our sincerest thanks for your cooperation). |

The Aspen Antiques and Fine Arts Fair will span 2 weekends this year. It will open on Saturday, July 3rd and close on the following Saturday, the 10th. The show is to be held at the Aspen
Ice Garden, located at 233 West Hyman Ave. For those unfamiliar with the layout of the town, know that the Ice Garden is just four blocks from the fountain at the town’s center, and three
blocks from Wagner Park (a.k.a., the rugby field). So it could scarcely be more convenient.
For those who have never experienced Aspen in July, know that is an extraordinary time to visit this beautiful Rocky Mountain paradise. Many have said it is as great in the summer as it
is in the winter, and I would concur wholeheartedly. This is a small, diverse, high class event with imposing ten foot walls for a fine presentation of some excellent dealers. There are many
special events for the July 4th weekend, so be sure to visit the Aspen Chamber of Commerce website for details.
Show Hours are to be announced. |

Upper East Side. The AADLA is the oldest and most prestigious organization for antiques and fine art dealers in America, with over 100 carefully selected members in 80 fields of expertise.
