The orrery, clockwork model of the planetary system, shows the motion of the planets Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and Earth.

It's About Time: 2000 Antiques Show

In honor of the new millennium, the 2000 Philadelphia Antiques Show's special Loan Exhibit, It's About Time, will showcase an elite collection of American tall case or "grandfather" clocks that display unusual characteristics in design, construction, materials and application, from 1680-1860. The clocks--culled from local private and public collections--exemplify America's significant contribution to the advancement of horology, the science of measuring time.

"The invention of the grandfather clock was quintessential to the mechanical era and helped define the evolution of daily life in colonial Philadelphia," said Dr. Robert E. Booth, Jr., curator of the 2000 Loan Exhibit and one of the country's leading collectors of Americana.

This collection of rare artifacts ranges from simple, refined designs like a Christopher Sauer II clock from Germantown, to highly ornate, carved, formal tall case clocks from Pennsylvania's finest clockmakers.

This exhibit also features whimsical folk and "tramp" art designs with fabulous parquetry, marquetry and jigsaw-cut open work, such as a tall clock, circa 1880, on loan from the Museum of American Folk Art and the Johannes Spitler clock from Shenandoah County, VA.

In addition to the Loan Exhibit, visitors can view 18th- and 19th-century antique furniture and decorative arts which have made the Show one of the leading exhibitions in the country.

Museum-quality works will be showcased by 56 of the nation's top antiques dealers. The Show opens with a Preview Gala on April 7 and continues through April 12 at the 33rd Street Armory, just north of Market Street.

The Show--celebrating its 39th anniversary--has contributed more than $8.5 million since 1962 for the advancement of patient care to the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center (UPMC). This year, the beneficiary is the Institute on Aging at the UPMC. Proceeds will enable the center to enhance and expand its full range of geriatric care for the elderly. The Institute plans to improve the conditions and services at the Ralston-Penn Center's Geriatric Medicine practice and the Presbyterian Medical Center's Acute Care of Elders Unit.

Tickets are $12, $10 for senior citizens, $5 for students and UPHS staff. Reservations are recommended for the special events. Call (215) 387-3500.
