The Ellsworth Antiques Show at Woodlawn, staged under a tent on the museum grounds, is America's longest running summer antiques show. With a reputation as one of the finest summer antiques show in the country, the show will feature twenty-seven dealers of national as well as regional renown. Eleven Maine antiques dealers will join with sixteen dealers from across the east coast and as far away as Missouri to present a diverse selection of art and antiques. Fine examples of American and English furniture and accessories, American paintings and watercolors, quilts, prints, rare books, ceramics, folk art, silver, jewelry, and oriental rugs will be among the items for sale.
Several of the dealers are long-time exhibitors at such prestigious antiques events as the Philadelphia Antiques Show, the Ellis Antiques Show in Boston, the Washington Antiques Show, and the Winter Antiques Show in New York City. Donald Cresswell of the Philadelphia Print Shop is frequently seen on the Antiques Roadshow.
