In 1973 a handful of dealers here in the Berkshires formed the Berkshire County Antiques and Art Association. This was the first of its kind in the United States. Our twenty-four dealers cover virtually every discipline from antiquities to contemporary fine art and interior design services. Most members are collectors and leading specialists in their respective fields: American, English, French, Scandinavian, Continental, Asian, porcelain and fine china, jewelry and precious metals, folk art and collectibles, fine art and sculpture.
*In 2019 we revised our name to Berkshire Antiques, Arts & Design Association,
with the revised acronym BAADA.
The first organization of its kind in the nation that brought together dealers with a commitment to accurate dating and full description of their offerings.
