Also exhibiting at the 2024 Palm Beach Show is Toulouse Antique Gallery, based in Los Angeles. The gallery brings a monumental clock set by E. Henry, comprising an ornate clock and a pair of urns. Since the founding of Toulouse Antique Gallery in 1975, owners John and Aurora Dugan have been presenting the world’s finest art and antiques on an international stage, holding exhibitions across the United States as well as in Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific Rim. They have developed a reputation among the world’s top collectors as an important source for 19th-century art and antiques. Their inventory is vetted for only 100 percent original pieces, with many signed by the masters. Pat Saling Collection, exhibiting in the 2024 show, is a source for some of the most daring and original fine jewelry of the past, including pieces from the great houses such as Cartier, Van Cleef, Boucheron, Bulgari, Chaumet, LaCloche and Tiffany. The collection offers a broad selection of magnificent, one-of-a-kind pieces from the 19th and 20th centuries, including Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Retro and mid-century periods.

While the Palm Beach Show is known as a destination for historic art and antiquities, the 2024 event will showcase a selection of contemporary works as well. Among these is an oil by Janina Leigue from Janina Fine Art, depicting a street scene in Madrid with two glasses of wine on a table in the foreground. Leigue paints luminous scenes of everyday life and is deeply influenced by the paintings of the Old Masters. She spent three years in Madrid studying composition and painting from life, and now lives in the United States.

Some exciting new and returning exhibitors to be presenting in 2024 include Peter Finer, Arader Galleries, Smith-Davidson Gallery [and] CICADA.” New York City-based Rehs Galleries will be in attendance as well.
