antique fairs
Old goods bazaars
Antique fairs are events where dealers gather to sell old furniture, collectibles, and vintage items.
They range from small local affairs in church halls to major shows attracting international dealers and serious collectors.
Unlike permanent antique shops, fairs offer concentrated browsing and the thrill of discovery: We found the sideboard at an antique fair in Vermont.
