Eighteen dealers from across the country will display extensive collections this weekend at the 38th annual Houston Museum Antiques Show and Sale at the Chattanooga Choo Choo.
The antiques show opens at 10 a.m. today, offering ceramics, paintings, prints, collectibles and jewelry as well as selected pieces of furniture.
Karen Murphy, show chairwoman, said one-third of the vendors are first-time exhibitors. They are traveling from as far as Texas and Iowa to participate in the Houston’s well-known event.
“This year we are pleased to have Tindell’s Restoration Studio at the show,” said Murphy.
