Arizona <strong>Antique</strong> Shows, continued from page 3...<br />
Wanda says the fact that many compliments from both<br />
exhibitors and customers come in after every show is a true<br />
testimonial to this. “Amazingly, every walk of life could come<br />
through our door and I can’t think of any one person who will<br />
tell you we aren’t one of the most professional and courteous<br />
shows in the industry,” she adds.<br />
Dealers visiting the shows bring an array of merchandise<br />
that spans from tin or toys, ephemera, and retro period items to<br />
fabulous pieces of artwork; Tiffany and other high quality art<br />
glass, porcelains, pottery<br />
and estate jewelry to early<br />
Americana, primitives,<br />
mercantile items, and<br />
costume jewelry. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is wonderful furniture in<br />
addition to fine linens and<br />
even vintage Christmas<br />
ornaments. A customer<br />
can conceivably find $5<br />
items or easily spend in<br />
the tens of thousands<br />
if their hearts so<br />
desire. This is no longer<br />
a show filled with beanie<br />
babies and hot wheels. <strong>The</strong> Phoenix <strong>Antique</strong> Market is truly<br />
an antique market and a buyer’s dream. Wanda says she knew<br />
their Phoenix <strong>Antique</strong> Market gained the industry’s respect<br />
that she and her family worked so very hard for when major<br />
periodicals like Country Home or the upcoming USA Today’s<br />
weekend edition feature the Phoenix <strong>Antique</strong> Market with<br />
articles on the shows.<br />
An exhibitor such as Kent Monken who has moved to<br />
Arizona from the East coast and was a regular at prominent<br />
east coast shows from the Pier to Brimfield is now a regular at<br />
the Phoenix <strong>Antique</strong> Market. Visit Kent’s booth and you will<br />
have the opportunity to purchase Daum Nancy, Roseville,<br />
artwork or fabulous Victorian jewelry to name just a few.<br />
You can find quality art including Salvador Dali from<br />
Rudolph Curiel, a noted art dealer from California. Rudolph<br />
is also a professional art and antiques appraiser and offers his<br />
services at the shows or upon home visits. This doesn’t mean<br />
you won’t find western favorites like primitives, mercantile<br />
or western items or beautiful dolls since there are plenty if<br />
you visit Bob Minor from Arizona or Evelyn Brannock from<br />
Nebraska. <strong>The</strong>re are always the regulars who have exhibited<br />
over many years and have given Robert and Wanda their<br />
loyalty and stuck with the shows to help rebuild them. Betty<br />
McDonald from Globe is returning for the November<br />
show along with friend and dealer/shop owner, Cheryl<br />
Brazell. Other regulars include Ray Ramirez, Bob and Genie<br />
