NEW FACES, NEW PLACES
Cesar
Chanlatte has opened a new shop. Tangibles is the name and it is located
on the corner of US Route One and Clark Road in Cape Neddick, Maine.
Open daily 10 to 5, the shop has offerings of antiques, art and décor
in gallery type booths set to show the fine wares of his dealers. A partial
listing of the very specialized, talented and experienced art dealers,
antiquarians and distinctive designers that have booths at Tangibles include
notables such as Linda Zukas, Art Smith, Mindy and Scott Smith, Paul &
Cheryl Scott, James Biondi, Bjorn Borssen, Ben Campbell, Emmons & Martin,
Robert Foley, Jane Fox, Ed & Margaret Weissman and Cory Daniels.
Lois Berry was on hand for their opening on July 6th and
had this to say: In true Cesar style, he presented a buffet of fabulous
food and beverages to feed the body while buyers continued to flow
into the shop from the 10am opening to late afternoon. Cruising through
the shop and taking pictures provided me with the diversity of items being
offered for sale. Here is just a sampling of booth items.
Ed & Margaret Weissman, left, had a wonderful Irish tavern table with
scrub top and a green paint base that held a price tag of $5500.
Boston Architectural Antiques (upper right) had set on a table,
a carved finial with pineapple top 19c from Portsmouth for $2450 and a
Maine finial for $950. A $1650 telescope trade sign hung on the wall .
Linda Zukas and Art Smith presented a large cage
made of wood and wire that presided over their booth, it had a tag of $3850.
Paul and Cheryl Scott had a copper eagle weathervane for $5900 and a circa
1790 cherry Chippendale 4 drawer bow front for $5600. Bjorn Borssen had
a tag of $395 on a flow blue platter. Corey Daniels had a set of 4 white
Italian arm chairs for $450 and two 1950s wood stools for $425.
Gary G. Hume Designs had a mid-century table desk for $250 and $80 on a
pair of glass candle sticks.
In an interview with Cesar he stated having a full house,
all booths are filled and I have a waiting list of dealers who want to
set up here - and an ever must have in my shops is a goldfish and its name
is Lucky." Sure nuf! Ron Burkey Jr. of the Flying Tiger
Antiques was standing close by and he pointed to the fish located on the
cash-out counter. As a recently remodeled shop to accommodate the variety
of galleries, Cesar went on to say, "all are selling very well, it is the
mix of antiques that make the galleries so different.
Dealer Jim Bondi related to me his confidence in
the new state of the art security system and other dealers present echoed
the same sentiment. For more information call 207-363 -7788. Visit
