“We are so excited to return to the Bay Area to present this well-established antiques, art and design show,” says Rosemary Krieger, president of Dolphin Promotions, the show’s organizer. Proceeds from the event benefit the United Veterans Services, a non-profit national organization that enlists volunteers and raises funds to support hospitalized veterans in Veterans Affairs Medical Centers across the country.

“We have a great lineup of dealers this time, and [I] think that the diversity of the collections that are offered will bring a stellar crowd of qualified buyers to the show,” Krieger adds. “Dealers are eager to return to San Mateo as it has proven to be a great market for them to succeed in.”

This year’s event will see several new dealers, including Artonomi Fine Art from Tiburon, California, which is offering a wonderful selection of 19th- and 20th-century artwork. Additionally, newcomer Thomas Lawrence Gallery from Palm Springs, California, will be bringing a number of decorative and fine art pieces dating back to 19th and 20th century.
