East Hampton Historical Society’s 19th Annual Antiques & Design Show Benefit With Honorary Chair David Kleinberg

East Hampton Historical Society celebrated its 19th Annual Antiques & Design Show Benefit, a showcase of antiques and mid-century decorative arts for the home and garden, on Saturday, July 12, and on Sunday, July 13. The annual benefit event kicked off with a Preview Cocktail Party on Friday, July 11, at the historic Mulford Farm at 10 James Lane in East Hampton, a fitting venue as a tribute to East Hampton’s rich heritage. This year, the East Hampton Historical Society had interior designer David Kleinberg serve as Honorary Chair.

Over 1,700 people attended the show over the weekend, with notable attendees including Katie Couric, Nathan Lane, Donna Karan, Aerin Lauder, and Faith Popcorn. The Historical Society saw a 40% increase in RSVPs for the Preview Cocktail Party. The three-acre property, maintained by the Historical Society, features one of the most intact colonial farmsteads in the United States. This setting provided a perfect backdrop for the elegant white tents that house the show’s treasures, making for a picturesque time to observe and shop.

Throughout the weekend, a lineup of over 50 antiques and art dealers showcased a wide range of vintage decorative items for the home and garden, encompassing styles from classic to contemporary.
