This show sees a dramatic increase in attendance year after year,” says Dan Darby, Emerald Expositions vice president and U.S. Antique Shows group.
This year’s New York antique show opens two days before another industry event in New York City -- the trade-only JA New York Summer show, which is scheduled for July 27 to 29 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
