Saturday, September 1 st, 2018 12pm Barometer Fair Speaker: John Forster Booth #: 1118 Topic: Barometers, technological masterpieces of the 18th century, and today. There are not that many antiques that were wonders of the scientific world 200-250 years ago, and are still functioning today, using the exact same science. Many clocks have been modified (ie, have had their mechanisms removed, and replaced by a quartz movement), although paintings, silver and furniture, while frequently antique and original, do not display any scientific function. A barometer that measures the height of a mercury column, works in an air-conditioned home, and predicts the weather, is still a useful and beautiful addition to every home decor today. 1pm OCN Ancient Jewelry, Coins & Maps Speaker: Suraj Joshi Booth #: 1411 Topic: Chronology of Roman Emperors The focus to show how we come about the criteria and placement of Roman emperors in our understanding and organization of numismatic collections.

Whether escaping political persecution or seeking artistic inspiration, these painters would gather at Gertrude Stein's apartment and exchange artistic and philosophical ideas. This resulted in a rich crosscurrent of styles and creativity, and gave birth to a staggering wealth of artistic output which added great novelty to traditional French art. Come and explore this fascination period, which gave birth to the important Modern Art movements of the XXth century. 3pm Jason McLeod Jewelry Speaker: Jason McLeod Booth #: 1860

Speaker: Dennis M David & Justin Schiller Booth #: 1302 Topic: Dutch Decorative Arts 1880 1940 From Art Nouveau to Art Deco and Modernism An innovative and important period in fine and decorative arts, the international Art Nouveau movement changed the perception of decoration and the landscape of Art in general, becoming more stylized and fluid open for innovation, experimentation and interpretation. Influencing the applied arts, the new style in overall production ushered in other movements from the De Stijl, Art Deco and various other schools of Modernism. A rich trove of examples from important manufacturers such as Rozenburg, Delft, and South Holland, have come out of this period in The Netherlands, and we have some very good pieces to showcase, from original artwork, books, prints, statuary, ceramics and porcelain.
