Day 1 of the York Antiques Show got off to a good start. Buyers crowded the aisles from the open at 10 a.m. through around 1:30 p.m. At that point, things really dropped off. The crowd was generally serious, well-informed and ready-to-buy. My incomplete and un-scientific sampling of dealers shows that people were buying lower-priced items. We saw plenty of evidence of buying. Most dealers we spoke to were satisfied with early results. Which is good enough these days. Here are some pictures:
