Each year, Palm Beach hosts a fantastic antiques fair, showing antiques from over 90 dealers. Called the Palm Beach/America’s Fine Art & Antique Fair, this fair attracts the best antique dealers from around the world to display their possessions.
The 2007 fair, with its new director Dr. Michale Mezzatesta, lasted for 11 days with an invitation-only preview. The opening night saw such socialites as Melania Trump and Ivana Trump, Princess Michael of Kent, and many others.
Art historian Philip Feyfer from Axel Vervoordt in Belgium said that “We got off to a good start.” Phoenix Ancient Art displayed a stunning booth of antiques. Their prized possessions included an Egyptian granite torso of King Nepherities that dates from the 29th Dynasty (399-393 B.C.) priced at $2 million.
