Blashfield UrnFind furnishings, garden urns and antique trellises among the many treasures available in the “Back to the Garden” Asbury Park Antique & Art Show, presented in the Grande Arcade in Convention Hall, Asbury Park on May 10 and 11.

The show will feature more than 80 vendors displayed throughout Convention Hall with spectacular gardens displays and collections in the Grand Arcade. In celebration of Mother’s Day, the first 100 mothers who arrive on Sunday morning will receive a special gift.

One of the founders of the Asbury Park Antique & Art show series is Kathleen Banks, a partner in Trillium Antiques on Cookman Avenue whose second business in Asbury Park, Corazza 20th Century, will open Memorial Day weekend in the newly-renovated First Avenue Pavilion on the boardwalk.

“We’ll be featuring a selection of our 20th century Hollywood Regency, mid-century modern, and fun accents, along with a few fabulous Euro-Deco pieces at the show,” Banks said.

Among the special attractions will be a display of carousel horses used in the Broadway musical “Carousel.”

Savvy shoppers will find European and American antique furniture in an endless mix of styles spanning three centuries, along with high-end reproduction pieces, paintings by well-known American and European artists, vintage postcards, clothing and jewelry, and garden urns, trellis and statuary. “Bargain hunters can walk away with a great piece of antique furniture or an original piece of artwork for a few thousand dollars or browse and find a fabulous flower pot for $10 or $12,” added Ms. Banks.
