75 Reasons To Visit Wilmington And The 46th Annual Delaware Antiques Show

WILMINGTON, DEL. — There are a number ofantiques shows in the East with long histories. Thoughyou may have heard of the Delaware Show, chances areyou have not visited it. After all, Delaware is a small stateand though the show has a rich history, you may havewondered if it was worth the drive to it. You may havethought of it as a little stuffy and dull with mostly “brown”furniture, though very fine furniture.

I would like to give you 75 reasons why this show isworth a trip down the Jersey Turnpike (or whatever routeyou take) and why you should check out this show.

Number one through 64 is exceptional dealers anxiousto share their knowledge with new collectors or seasonedbuyers, offering high-quality antiques, fairly priced, hon-estly described and guaranteed by the dealers. Surprisingly,you will find objects in a range of prices; not everything isexpensive, but everything is of good value.

You will find furniture with a wide range of origin andprovenance. Eighteenth Century pieces from New Eng-land, Philadelphia and the mid-Atlantic will be plentiful.High style and country styles, Nineteenth Century paint-ed pieces, even a bit “funky” American furniture that canbe lived with and enjoyed will be shown. In addition, weare also offering English and continental objects as.

Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century American wick-er and willow furniture that lightened and brightened styl-ish homes, verandas and porches will be available for theTwenty-First Century homes. Originally made for “artistichomes” and the tastes of the Aesthetic Movement, theseitems furnished picturesque country houses, summer “cot-tages” in Newport and Bar Harbor, rambling resort hotelsand Adirondack “camps” of the wealthy and fashionable.

Forty years ago folk art probably was not that evident atthe Delaware Show. Today, in line with changing tastes,folk art and the lowly objects created and used by Pennsyl-vania Germans or New England farmers and artisans willbe plentiful. Now we appreciate the material culture of ournation’s past, as experienced by all, not just the wealthyfew.

Among the ceramic offerings will be elegant ChineseExport and English and continental porcelains that gracedthe homes of the wealthy. But in addition, the utilitarianpottery of the kitchen and butlery will be offered. While in

its time, the porcelains were costly and passed down care-fully to subsequent generations, now the “cheap wares,”redware and stoneware from New England, Pennsylvaniaor the South are likely to be more expensive. Understatedcreamware and pearlware of the Eighteenth Century mid-dle class will be offered, as well as the colorful and showyEnglish polychrome ironstone of the Nineteenth Century.

We will especially miss Elinor Gordon, the Grand Dameof Chinese Export wares, who participated in the firstDelaware Show, 44 years ago through 2008. This grandlady, who passed away in August, will be missed by allassociated with the show and her many customers.

Reason 65 is the show is a benefit for the WinterthurMuseum & Country Estate, one of America’s finest deco-rative arts museums. The home and collections of HenryFrancis du Pont, it continues to set the standard for schol-arship and connoisseurship, while introducing the best ofthe past to students and collectors today. This show fundseducational programming for both children and adults.

Reasons 66 through 69 are a number of special eventsthat will enrich the show experience and are free to showgo-ers.

Friday morning, November 6, the Keno brothers, Leslieand Leigh, will speak at 10 am before the show opens at11. These well-known experts, favorite specialists from theAntiques Roadshow, will speak about their experience inthe marketplace. From their boyhood days on flea marketfields helping their parents in the height of the New Yorkantiques world or elegant shows and Sotheby’s, theseyoung men have interesting stories to tell.

On Friday evening at 6 pm (after the show closes), cura-tor of American paintings and sculpture at the Metropoli-tan Museum of Art, Carrie Rebora Barratt, will lecture onearly American paintings and portraiture. Her extensiveknowledge will provide insights into the paintings, now onview at the museum. “Faces of a Nation: American Por-traits of the 18th and Early 19th Centuries from the Met-ropolitan Museum of Art.” Her lecture will decode thecultural information contained within early portraits.

Of special interest to our area residents will be the intro-duction of the long-awaited book “The du Ponts: Housesand Gardens in the Brandywine 1900–1951. The authorMaggie Lidz, the Winterthur Estate Historian, will delight

those fascinated by the family that dominated the statesince the Eighteenth Century and their great houses.

On Saturday, November 7, at 2 pm, Lidz will highlight25 estates and gardens. Following the lecture, there will bea book signing for this popular Christmas gift.

Reason 70 is the special loan exhibit, “Faces of the FirstState: Portraits from the Delaware Historical Society.” Itcelebrates the state’s rich historic and artistic heritage.

And remember, all of these events are free of charge toshow visitors.

As in real estate, when visiting shows — location, loca-tion, location — is important. The Chase Center on theRiverfront is an outstanding venue. Easy to get to, adja-cent to I-95 and just over the Delaware River Bridge, it isonly two hours from New York City, less than an hourfrom Philadelphia, an hour from Baltimore and two hoursfrom Washington, D.C., with plentiful free parking. Thebuilding is elegant and comfortable and a great showcasefor America’s finest antiques.

After you drive here, why not make a weekend of it?Within close proximity are nine museums to visit, Win-terthur Museum & Gardens, Longwood Gardens, theBrandywine River Museum and more.

We have secured impressive hotel packages with rates somuch lower than in New York City, Philadelphia andWashington, D.C., that it is hard to believe. Even the duPont Hotel, one of America’s most elegant, has an impres-sive package for those visiting the Delaware AntiquesShow. Check the website www.Winterthur.org/das formore information.

Special arts performances, including Opera Delaware,have also been scheduled for the weekend. By the way, vis-itors do not have to drive; they can take the train. There isa special rate for train tickets and the trolley may be takenfor the last five minutes to the show.

Reason 75 Delaware is a tax-free state. Think how muchfarther your money goes than in New York City, where thesales tax on a $10,000 purchase would be $800. This isnot chump change and should not be underestimated.

Is a trip to Delaware worth the time? It certainly is.

An unusual pair of small watercolor, ink, and pencil portraits clearly by a member of the DaLee family,

probably the work of either Richard or Amon. Historically all these related works have been attributed

to Justus DaLee, and no known signed examples by Richard exist. There is, I believe, only a single signed

pair by Amon. The facial features here are distictive, and I have seen numerous other similar examples.

They are precisely drawn and have more facial shading than the work of Justus. Because they have

always been enclosed in this red leather case, they are extremly well preserved, vibrant in color, retain-

ing all of their most delicate shading. An 1839 newspaper, a diatribe against the government and particu-

larly the banking system was within the case. Upstate New York.

Delaware Antiques ShowNov. 6-8, 2009



WILMINGTON, DEL. — At the dawn ofthe Twentieth Century, Wilmington was theepicenter of American Illustration. Many ofthe country’s aspiring young artist’s hadmigrated here to study under noted artistand illustrator Howard Pyle. A native Wilm-ingtonian, Pyle established an illustrationcurriculum at Philadelphia’s Drexel Institutein 1894. After eight successful years there,he left to continue his tutelage at his Wilm-ington ateliers, which he built on FranklinStreet in 1883, and expanded for hisentourage in 1900.

Even these studios, however, and the fewother boarding rooms able to accommodateyoung, aspiring painters, proved inadequatefor the increasing number of both studentsand artists eager for Pyle’s advice and criti-cism. Fortunately, two of his favorite pro-tégés, Stanley Arthurs and FrankSchoonover, were able to enlist the support of philan-thropist Samuel Bancroft Jr, chief executive officer ofBancroft Mills. He agreed to construct a spacious, four-studio building at the corner of Rodney and ShallcrossStreets.

A local architect, Captain E.L. Rice, designed thebuilding in a Queen Anne style often referred to as Sha-vian Manorial. An inscription on the wall ofSchoonover’s studio still reads, “Moved in this studioMarch 8th, 1906.” The other occupants were N.CWyeth, Henry Peck, Clifford Ashley and StanleyArthurs, with Harvey Dunn soon to follow. Rent was$17.50 per month. As for selecting who would usewhich studio, Schoonover relates a story about drawingstraws. Even though Frank drew the shortest one,Wyeth insisted he take the most desirable studio as aperk for getting the studios built.

Over the ensuing years, many illustrators and artists,both amateur and professional, rented various units,generally for a tenancy of a few years. Gayle Hoskins,Katherine Pyle (Pyle’s sister ), W.H.D. Koerner, Stafford

Good and Ellen Bayard Kennelly wereamong them. Only Schoonover, whowould eventually own the property, spenthis entire artistic career in the same studio,where he painted more than 2,000 illustra-tions. Wyeth left in 1908 to pursue hisremarkable career in Chadds Ford, Penn.To quote Wyeth, “I am finding deeperpleasure, deeper meaning in the simplethings in the country life here.” Three yearslater he created the immensely popularTreasure Island paintings.

Arthurs moved back to Pyle’s studio forthe duration of his life, creating marveloushistorical illustrations. Dunn moved toTenafly, N.J., where he carried on Pyle’sphilosophies, inspiring several young artiststo become very successful illustrators. Thestudios also served as a venue for groupslike the Sketch Club, Studios Group and

Camera Club, as well as occasional special exhibi-tions. Several teachers held classes throughout theyears, the last being Charles Vinson in the late sixties.Schoonover’s classes for both children and adults inthe late 1940s and 1950s were very popular. Some ofthose students became noted artists.

Though threatened with demolition in the early1970s after Schoonover’s death, the studios survived,thanks to the interest and support of the entireDelaware Avenue neighborhood. The new ownersincluded Schoonover’s grandson, John. In 1979, thebuilding was listed in the national register of HistoricPlaces. During the 1980s, state and federal grantsunderwrote the complete renovation of the studios,including a new slate roof and 12 large skylights. Thecurrent members of the Schoonover Studios OwnersAssociation are William Deering, photographer instudio four; Norman Tomases, artist in studio three;and John Schoonover, director of the Rodney StreetGallery in studio two and curator of FrankSchoonover’s original studio.
