A Look Inside the March 2026 Issue of Kovels Antique Trader

Hollywood glamour, jet-age optimism, and a touch of Victorian boldness take center stage in the March issue of Kovels Antique Trader.

This month’s cover feature, Flights of Fancy, explores artist David Klein’s iconic TWA travel posters, the vivid mid-century visions that captured the excitement of the golden age of air travel. From runway to red carpet, Gowns That Won the Red Carpet revisits the fashion moments that defined Oscar history, while a deep dive into Pee-wee Herman collectibles celebrates the wonderfully quirky world of pop culture nostalgia.

Jewelry enthusiasts will find plenty to admire, from bold Victorian sash pins to sparkling Sales Reports featuring all things Hollywood glamour. The issue also journeys to the Mediterranean in Red Gold: Fruits from the Silent Sea, exploring the artistry and ethics behind collectible red coral, and travels to the Pacific with The British Museum Says Aloha, highlighting Native Hawaiian art and antiques. Rounding out the issue is a look at the enduring beauty of Belleek.

This issue also marks a meaningful transition for the magazine. Longtime contributor Kris Manty steps away from her role as a monthly voice in these pages. In a special guest “From the Editor,” former KAT editor Paul Kennedy reflects on nearly three decades of working alongside Kris, celebrating her talent, warmth, and unmistakable voice.

Readers will also find a personal farewell from Kris herself, one final note from a writer whose curiosity and care have shaped countless stories for our community. Current editor Kele Johnson adds a fond tribute of her own, reflecting on their shared history and honoring the thoughtful, steady presence behind the magazine’s beloved Sales Reports and so many memorable features.

From cinema icons to jet-age design, and from heartfelt goodbyes to enduring collectibles, the March issue of Kovels Antique Trader truly takes wing.
