March Shows: Governor Wolf to Quiet Corner

Governor Wolf Historical Society Show, Bath Pennsylvania

A newer acquisition, this Georgian Mahogany Chest on Chest is a sight to see, with beautiful imposing grain and fantastically preserved hardware!

For those who do not know, Timeless Treats had a major setback over the winter when our beloved Toyota Rav 4 which has hauled our wares from day one was totaled in a tragic accident by a drunk driver shortly after the New Years Show. Since then, we have been re-developing our show schedule for the year, and have been quiet due to behind the scenes work on maintaining the business through the harshest months, both weather and sales wise, since our founding.

Against the odds, we were able to throw together an amazing show at Governor Wolf Historical Society, which was likely one of the most enjoyable shows of our career. For all of those who are unaware of this lovely gem of a show, it is in Bath Pennsylvania and includes historical homes and buildings which are opened up to dealers to create displays to their hearts content. We were very lucky to be stationed in the Ralston-McKeen House (circa 1795) where we hung period artworks on the walls, arranged numerous furniture pieces throughout the room, and were able to even use our finely selected inventory of andirons in their working fireplace. This show will likely be a highlight of our cycles to come, and we urge all patrons to visit next year in early March!

Around the corner we are planning for the Quiet Corner Country Show in Danielson, CT, and will be bringing some new and old pieces from our shop. Highlights will include scientific equipment such as a Kew-Station Barometer and brass microscopes; a 18th C. English Striped Oak Highboy and Georgian Mahogany Chest on Chest; Candlestands, including a nicely built Connecticut Valley Cherry piece; Fine Art including a pasture scene by notable Springfield artist Edmund E. Case from our personal collection; stoneware and redware, including a newly acquired crock by Adam Caire of Poughkeepsie NY and a sugar bowl by Samuel Wetmore; a Pennsylvania Apothecary / Spice Chest, c. 1850 with porcelain knobs; a selection of choice decoys from an ongoing estate project, and other artwork, furniture, and smalls from the 18th and 19th Centuries! Come visit us Saturday, March 28th for Connecticut’s finest primitive show!
