Dawn Hill Antiques, New Preston
Palm Beach Jewelry, Art, & Antiques Show
More than 170 dealers brought exquisite gems, paintings, furniture and collectibles to the tenth annual fine art fair. Kicked off with a high-profile opening night party organized by Audrey Gruss, founder of HOPE for Depression. The show featured model rooms prepared by outstanding interior designers and a silent auction with items donated by each booth.

A lecture on gemstones by Tiffany & Co.’s John Loring and a discussion on cutting edge works by noted art advisor Kim Heirston were among sessions luring attendees who crowded the aisles. We spotted some familiar faces in the opening night crowd and stopped by the booths of dealers who traveled from Connecticut.
A lot of the same people from back north shop at the Florida show, New Canaan’s Sallea Antiques reported, and by the end of the day their sales of china, crystal, enamel boxes and an outstanding red enamel inkwell had “exceeded expenses.” Cavalier Galleries’ Lindsay Ebanks was happy to have found a Florida home for a companion photo of Steve McCurry’s famous portrait of the Afghan girl with striking eyes.
