Looking at the back, however, there is no doubt that this is new work. He has so deeply incised his name, date and mark that it would be impossible to remove them and pass them off as old. Gifts galore, original yet affordable, are eagerly snatched up. Teddy bears, folky dolls, carved figures, animals and birds, textiles and rugs round out the offerings. Shuttle buses will operate throughout the school complex, so visitors should not be deterred by the crowds.
Food service is available throughout the show.
Early buying, 8-10 a.m. on Saturday, is recommended for serious buyers before the floor becomes quite crowded. It is also an opportunity for wholesale buyers to make contact with craftsmen and perhaps place orders for future delivery. This show and the March Antiques Show provide the primary funding for the Wilton Historical Society and Heritage Museum. The museum is a classic central chimney mid-18th Century house furnished to show the evolution of family life between 1750 and 1850.
