London dealer Roger Keverne, who specializes in Chinese art, reported doing business in “all sorts of things,” from cloisonné to sculpture to porcelain and jade. “What makes this fair different from others,” he said, “is that people come themselves to buy things they like for their homes. It is not dominated by decorators.”

Richard Philp, whose specialty is medieval sculpture, said he sold something every day. “While last year’s fair picked up for me at the end, this one has been more consistent,” he added, noting that the works all went to collectors who had bought from him before. His booth this year seemed full of angels—among his sold pieces were a late-15th-century polychrome figure of an angel paying the fiddle, from Southern France, and a drawing of an angel by 16th-century artist Giulio Romano. His major piece, a large limestone angel holding a psalter dating from around 1300, was still waiting for a buyer, but, Philp said, several people have expressed interest.

Antiquities dealer Rupert Wace, who came from London, sold more than 30 pieces by midweek, including an unusual low stone offering table from ancient Egypt that went to a British collector for around $150,000. An Attic terracotta pottery jar depicting an excited satyr about to take advantage of a sleeping maenad sold to a private collector, who intends to loan it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Japanese art dealer Joan Mirviss, who has participated in the fair for 28 years, sold 43 pieces, but “very few at the top of the economic ladder.” She made a decision, she added, “not to bring, say, half-a-million dollar screens.” She said she sold mostly prints and screens priced under $50,000, but “for the first time, I had European buyers.”
