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 1950’s 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 online at www.tangiblesantiques.com
