On Saturday, October 17, antiquarians from near and far descended on Stair Galleries in Hudson (that's Colin Stair, far left, with veteran Hudson antiques dealer Rich Rasso) for a preview of the season's most eagerly-awaited sale, the Hunt Slonem Collection from Edgewood Terrace. Slonem, a New York-based painter given to buying and preserving historic houses, is selling his imposing Second Empire-style brick mansion across the river in Kingston, and its astonishing contents will go on the block at Stair next Saturday, October 24th.
