Set in the heart of the Green Mountains at the peak of fall foliage, the
Weston Antiques Show has been attracting collectors, dealers, residents, and
tourists alike since 1959. Regarded as one of the best small shows in New
England, thousands of attendees flock to Weston every year to enjoy the show,
the setting, and the season.
“One of the best small shows in New England"

Located in the Weston Playhouse on the Village Green, the 50th annual show is
October 3 through 5, 2008 with the preview on the evening of October 2. Thirty-seven renowned dealers from across
the U.S. transform this distinctive venue into three floors of room settings of
antiques.
Attendees find quality and variety here: American and English furniture
prior to 1900, accessories to 1900, Oriental rugs to 1920, antique and estate
jewelry, and paintings and prints to 1935. All merchandise is guaranteed
by the exhibitors to be as represented.
“It's hard to know what's more beautiful - the antiques or the
surroundings"

Oriental rugs hang from auditorium walls and drape over theatre seats, spilling
out to the stone walls overlooking the West River. Country and formal furniture,
decorative arts, Americana, accessories, and folk art are
in the street level stage, lobby, and lounge as well as the lower and upper
levels.
Silver, ceramics, linens, and jewelry are showcased in their own
rooms. Walls on all three floors are adorned with samplers,
paintings, quilts, and textiles. Garden ornaments on the porches are set amid
the splendor of autumn colors.
The Weston Antiques Show is the anchor for Vermont Antiques Week with 5 shows
and 220 dealers within 20 miles. The first show to open,
Weston's Gala Preview is Thursday, October 2 and the Show is Friday,
October 3 through Sunday, October 5, 2008.
“Unquestionably, the leader of the pack and as near to Nirvana as you
can get.”
