The Art and Antique Dealers League of America’s annual fair features 25 dealers, mostly from the New York area. But the treasures on offer hail from all over the globe, from an inlaid iron cabinet made in 19th-century Japan, to a beaded bag crafted by the Plains Indians, to an 18-carat gold Victorian bracelet from England dating to 1875.
Location: Wallace Hall, Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, 980 Park Avenue at East 84th Street Price: $20 Time: Thursday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–7 p.m.; Sunday and Monday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.
SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Fall Show is a “must-attend” event, not just for those who plan their lives around the San Francisco social calendar, but for anyone in the United States serious about antiques, art and design. For those that keep track of such things, the show fielded 17 exhibitors based – or with an office – in California, 19 from the United States, five from the United Kingdom, three from European countries and one each from Canada and Mexico. Arguably one of the best shows on the West Coast, this annual event features four days of non-stop lectures, panel discussions, book signings and, of course, antiques, art and design dating from antiquity to contemporary.
