44th Annual Camden-Rockport Antiques Show and Sale

The 44th annual Camden-Rockport Antiques Show and Sale will be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19 at the Mid-Coast Recreational Center (MCR) in Rockport. The Camden Show has been the premier antiques show in Maine for early 18th, 19th, and early 20th century furniture, Americana, and accessories. This year’s show will have 36 dealers from 8 states selling antiques in every area of the antiques market. Its return marks the 44th year that the Antiques Show returns to the Camden-Rockport area. It will be another great show with antiques dealers specializing in early American furniture, antique silver, marine antiques, decoys, Staffordshire, Americana, Folk Art, porcelains, and more. Many of the exhibitors have done the show for years and are eager to see their old friends and customers. The Camden Show has developed into a very diversified antiques show. Exhibitors will have formal antique furniture, antique and estate jewelry, fine glass and china, silver, early soft paste, pottery, brass, copper, and pewter, quilts and other textiles, antiques guns, antiquarian books and prints, and more. Returning for another year, exhibitors in formal and country furniture, folk art, and country accessories include Heller-Washam Antiques, Martin Ferrick, and PD Murphy Antiques, all from Maine. Also returning will be Witts End Antiques from New York who will be bringing 18th and 19th century furniture and Hudson River Valley Paintings; and Harry W. Hepburn III Antiques, specializing in early tall clocks. This year customers will also find a number of new dealers specializing in fine art, including paintings and fine paper art. As always, customers can expect to find sterling silver, garden antiques, oriental rugs, lots of fine hand painted china, decorator items and more, for their homes or collections. We have even added this year a dealer in early 20th century art pottery. The antiques show will again have a large air-conditioning unit brought up to the MCR to air-condition the antiques show to ensure that everyone will be able to enjoy browsing and shopping in a cool environment. Visitors will find the show well-rounded with an exciting variety of antiques in all price ranges and with the quality that the Camden Show patrons have come to expect over the years.

Show hours are from 10 to 4 on Saturday and from 11 to 4 on Sunday. The Mid-Coast Recreational Center is located on Route 90 about 2 miles from the intersection with Route 1N.
