Three antiques dealers will be panelists at a Roundtable of Antiques and Collectibles on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024 at 2:00 pm at the Geneva History Museum, 543 S. Main Street, Geneva. The meeting is sponsored by the Antiques Club of the Finger Lakes and is free and open to the public.
The antiques dealers include Christina Champion, Susan Sauvageau and Peter Jablonski. The purpose of the Roundtable is to allow attendees to bring antique or vintage items they would like to learn more about or simply discuss. Suggestions include paintings, prints, bottles, china, glassware, decorative accessories, primitives, textiles and small furniture. The panelists, along with Antiques Club members, will comment on antiques and collectibles brought to the meeting. (Bringing an item is not required to attend.)
The Antiques Club of the Finger Lakes is in its 49th year of programming. Meetings are free and open to the public, but membership is welcome and encouraged at $10 per year. Programs include meetings at the Geneva History Museum, field trips and social events.
