ak/gs set 8/24 #710215

PHILADELPHIA, PENN. — “Treasures…From the Silk Road to the Santa Fe Trail Show & Sale,” is a exciting, exotic shopping and collecting exposition of antiques, fine arts and textiles from world cultures. “Treasures” returns to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology for its third annual presentation October 26–28.

More than 40 dealers from around the world will again transform the museum’s third floor galleries into a spectacular marketplace for exceptional and unusual art, antiques, jewelry, carpets, sculptural objects, furniture, ceramics, wearable and textiles — all carefully vetted, one-of-a-kind Eighteenth–Twentieth Century pieces. Thousands of experienced and new collectors, interior designers, home furnishers, clothing visionaries and style-setters come to “shop the world” at “Treasures,” Philadelphia’s show and sale of fine art works from Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

Presented by The Women’s Committee to benefit the museum’s educational and outreach programs, “Treasures” is produced by Caskey-Lees, and is chaired by Susan W. Catherwood, Helen Stephenson Weary and Nancy Freeman Tabas.

“Treasures” is open to the public Friday and Saturday, from 11 am to 8 pm, Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm.

Penn’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is on the University of Pennsylvania campus, 3260 South Street, across from Franklin Field.

“Treasures 2007” opens with an elegant preview party Thursday, October 25, from 5 to 9 pm. For information and reservations, 215-898-9213 or www.museumupenn.edu.
