Beautiful Venue, Beautiful Vintage at My Favorite Florida Antique Show...
Between Bay and Gulf coasts, St. Petersburg’s charming 1926 Coliseum Ballroom plays fitting host to an antique show with playful vintage fashion, mid-century modernism, kitsch and decor, Victorian costume jewelry and some truly exquisite antiques!
Sunshine City Antique Show is a longtime fixture of the Tampa Bay area antique community. I bring my best from points as far as Seattle, while other dealers come from New York, New England and Canada.
Enjoy views of St. Pete’s 1920s recreational centers as we make our way to the venue, itself a stylishly breathtaking remnant of that decade’s Florida land boom. In front of the stage where Guy Lombardo performed are rows of experienced antique and vintage dealers, with so many great specialties that we have to extend this video to two parts! (Join us Sunday for the wrap-up)
Collectors respond to this show, whether seeking Tiffany or Tiki decor! Louis Icart original prints and Lilli-Ann coats, Chinese porcelain and silver vertu tempt today’s collector. Compacts and boudoir items are matched by bronze bookends and 1950s advertising starting at $2. Resellers hear why one should buy heavy coats and Victorian furniture in Florida.
One dealer explains a source of knowledge on Early American tole trays, while another poses two puzzlers (please reach out in viewer comment if you think you know the answers).
A list of other highlights follows below…
I hope my review of Sunshine City Antique Show and this truly special events center helps you learn more about antique and vintage items, St. Pete’s historic attractions, and the collegial nature of a good antique show. I’m excited to share my real world vintage encounters with the online community. I love sharing our passion and hope we will all help each other with our antique education.
Here’s some more of what I find:
Antique and vintage dresser boxes, cloche, mid-century chrome furniture, guilloche, advertising, Floridiana, mid-century art, Florida art, automaton, Roseville Pottery, Lalique, Turner print, beaded bags
