2023 ‘Philadelphia Show’ To Feature Jewels By Cartier, Boucheron, Tiffany And Others

The Philadelphia Show, a leading U.S. art and design fair, will host its 61st edition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, April 28 till April 30. In addition to the normal hours and days, there will be an opportunity for a first look of what the exhibitors have to offer with a preview party on April 27 from 6 – 9 p.m. with a 5 p.m. early admission.

More than 40 exhibitors from the U.S. will be displaying antiques, design and art in a number of disciplines with a strong focus on American creations as well as important European and Asian works. Included in this group is a handful of jewelry exhibitors as well as several dealers who have jewels in their collections. They include first time exhibitor A La Vieille Russie, along with returning jewelry dealers Kentshire, S.J. Shrubsole and James Robinson. They will present period and antique jewels from many of the most historic jewelry houses, such as Cartier, Boucheron and Tiffany & Co.

All of the jewelry dealers are based in New York. A La Vieille Russie specializes in Russian art objects and antiques with a strong focus on Fabergé. However, its jewelry collection includes period pieces from the U.S. and Europe.

Kentshire, through its three generations of ownership, was one of the foremost dealers of fine antique and period jewelry, furniture and objets d’art. In 2015, brother and sister, Carrie and Matthew Imberman, established a free-standing boutique on the seventh floor of Bergdorf Goodman department store focusing on antique and estate jewelry.

S.J. Shrubsole specializes in English and American silver and antique jewelry from Europe and America.

Founded in 1912, the firm of James Robinson specializes in jewelry of the 19th century and art deco pieces of the 20th century, antique silver of the 16th through 18th centuries, antique porcelain from England and Europe, and antique table glass.

Other exhibitors will be presenting works that specialize in fine art, design, antiques, Americana, folk art, ceramics, porcelain, silver, jewelry, textiles and decorative arts, spanning from 16^th to 21^st centuries.

For the second time since its inception, The Philadelphia Show will take place on the grounds of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, on the institution’s East Terrace. Officials from the fair say this new location “has proven to be highly successful” in attracting more visitors, who include collectors, designers and industry experts.

The show will also include informal daily talks at the dealer’s booths and tours of the show. On April 30 there will be treasure hunt.

All proceeds from the show support the Division of Learning and Engagement at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. For more information, visit The Philadelphia Show website.
