Piccolo Art completes successful DC Antique Show

Piccolo Art is pleased to have finished a successful Inagural Washington DC Antique Show. The show had over 300 dealers including a good deal of international dealers. It was a stunning hall with high quality merchandise.





Piccolo Art had a good if not great show (we sold a number of paintings) but we did meet a many nice people. Also had a number of Portrait miniature collectors who we had not met before.





Sols 3 paintings 2 pastels and a watercolor to 4 really loveley people (who found our quirkiness appealing. see what they had to say below:





"At the DC Spring Antiques Show yesterday, someone I know happened on a 19th century watercolor at a stand called Piccoloart. When our small group of visitors descended, proprietor Nancy Christman Reilly was so charming--even reciting a stanza from Robert Burn's Address To A Haggis in front of portraits featuring two tartan-clad worthies--that we bought three smaller 19th century pictures right off the wall. The mom-and-pop Reillys hail from Ohio, spent years in England, Nancy trained at Sotheby's, and they now live and work in Edenton, North Carolina, of all places...If you are interested in British portraits and miniatures--or the poetry of Robert Burns--the DC Spring Antiques Show is open today until 6 pm at the Washington Convention Center. "

Our next show is Philadelphia we will update the details soon
