Four New Exhibitors Announced for The 69th Annual NH Antiques Show to be Held August 6-8, 2026

MANCHESTER, NH – For sixty-nine years, The New Hampshire Antiques Show has upheld the tradition of bringing fine quality antiques to New England. Four new exhibitors will join the show this year alongside our returning fine exhibitors from all over the country with a wide range of fresh-to-market items that include folk art to fine porcelain, country and formal furniture, paintings and prints, glassware, metalware, pottery, and so much more. The show attracts thousands of buyers and enthusiasts from all over the country in search of high-quality antiques.

The NH Antiques Dealers Association is pleased to announce four new exhibitors to the show this year: Michael Hall Antiques & Fine Art, Robert Markowitz, Z and K Antiques, and Elliott and Grace Synder.

Michael Hall, of Michael Hall Antiques & Fine Art, has been a full-time antique dealer for over twenty-six years. Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, he sells a wide range of American antiques. He started out selling southern furniture, art, silver, and pottery, and has expanded to American historical items, antique, and vintage flags. He exhibits at several shows, including Nashville’s The Antiques and Garden Show, Winnetka, Illinois’ Antiques and Modernism Show, The Nashville Show, and the Downeast Art and Antiques Show of Blue Hill, Maine.

Robert Markowitz, a man from humble roots who grew up in a public housing project in Rockaway, Queens, and whose primary role in life is a pediatrician with a specialty in pediatric obesity. He had an interest in and collected antiques for many years before becoming a dealer. His personal collection is eclectic, with objects ranging from the 18th to the 20th century. It includes furniture, textiles, paintings, advertising, folk art, and American clocks. He sells what he likes, and likes what he sells, and endeavors to research each piece to share that information and enthusiasm for every item. “I am thrilled and honored so be included in this year’s NHADA Show.”

Bob Zordani and Heidi Kellner of Z and K Antiques live in Lexington, Virginia, and have been in the antiques business together since 2004. They sell early American antiques and folk art through their website, www.zandkantiques.com, and are an active presence in the antiques community on Facebook and Instagram. Although Bob and Heidi have been setting up at antiques shows for 15 years, they only exhibit four times annually: winter at The Nashville Show, spring and fall at Virginia's Fishersville Antiques Expo, and now at The 69th Annual New Hampshire Antiques Show in Manchester.

The fourth and final new exhibitors are Elliott and Grace Synder of South Egremont, Massachusetts. Both founding members of the Antiques Dealers' Association of America (ADA), they have served that organization in various capacities: Elliott as past president, member of the Board of Directors, head of vetting for the ADA show, and longtime member of the furniture and metalwork vetting committees. Grace has also served that organization as a current Board member, chair of the Membership Committee, and head of textile vetting for the show. While dealing in a wide variety of 17th, 18th, and early 19th-century material, they specialize in 17th and 18th-century material. American vernacular furniture in old or original finish, textiles of the 17th and 18th centuries, and early metalwork, particularly candlesticks of the 15th-17th century. Both have taught courses on antiques and have lectured extensively at museums, historical societies, and several colleges on a range of antiques-related topics, with Elliott focusing on American furniture and addressing questions of authenticity, aesthetics, and comparative evaluation. In addition, Grace has co-authored an article with Jan Whitlock entitled "Wool Embroidered Blankets.”  Elliott and Grace have participated in many shows over the years and continue to participate in the Delaware Antiques Show, the new “Philadelphia” show for Historic Trappe, and now happily, in the NHADA show in Manchester. The antiques life still beckons. 

“These four new exhibitors are a welcome addition to our show. The dealers prepare all year, saving a variety of goods and acquiring inventory pleasing to all levels of collectors who look forward to this annual event,” stated Richard Thorner, President of the NH Antiques Dealers Association Board of Directors.
