Boschetto family

Boschetto family As the Journal of Antiques & Collectibles celebrates its 25th year in publication, we find ourselves at a moment of meaningful reflection and exciting renewal – a milestone that honors our past while casting a bold vision for the future.

We are delighted to announce that the Journal of Antiques & Collectibles has entered a new chapter under the ownership and leadership of Nicholas and Jacqueline Boschetto. This transition marks a significant moment in the life of the Journal – one filled with enthusiasm, energy, and opportunity.

The Boschettos are no strangers to the world of antiques. As passionate Brimfield showgoers, seasoned collectors, and lifelong lovers of history, Nick and Jackie bring an authentic appreciation for the artistry, craftsmanship, and stories behind the objects we all cherish. Based in New England and parents to two young sons, they are deeply rooted in the region and the community that has long supported the Journal.

Nick’s background in business operations, logistics, and marketing strategy uniquely positions him to guide the Journal into its next era with innovation and purpose. Jackie complements this vision with her strong eye for design and content, bringing fresh perspective to the Journal’s evolving editorial direction. Together, their shared passion and professional synergy form the foundation for what promises to be an inspiring and inclusive future.

At the heart of their vision is a commitment to building on the Journal’s trusted legacy while embracing the tools and trends shaping the future of collecting. This includes expanding our digital presence, strengthening community engagement through social platforms, and developing editorial content that speaks to both long-established readers and a new generation of collectors.

In addition to continuing quarterly print publications and our popular Post-Press Update e-newsletter, the Boschettos are also taking on production of the Brimfield Show Guide, further strengthening their connection to one of the country’s most iconic antique events. Their efforts aim to deepen the Journal’s role as both a trusted resource and a dynamic connector within the antiques community.

Looking ahead, readers can expect a broadened editorial focus, enhanced educational content, and new opportunities for discovery, discussion, and connection. The Journal will continue to spotlight the people, places, and pieces that define our shared passion, while introducing new tools and voices to support the future of collecting.

Through it all, one thing remains unchanged: the Journal’s commitment to cultivating a vibrant, knowledgeable, and inclusive community of collectors. As we welcome the Boschettos to the Journal family, we invite you to be part of this next chapter. With your continued support, the Journal will not only endure – it will grow, adapt, and inspire a new generation of readers, collectors, and enthusiasts.

Here’s to the journey ahead!
