This October authentic 17th, 18th, 19th and early 20th century antiques gathered, researched and authenticated by 55 screened, invitation-only dealers from 15 states will be exhibited in St. Charles, Illinois at the 37th Annual Fall Fox Valley Antiques Show.
The theme of the show, “Made in America”, reflects American ingenuity, innovation, and invention, along with a little imagination, allowing us to appreciate the designs of our forebears, no matter their homeland. Each antique offered for sale at the show will tell an interesting story of our American culture and, often, its links to our overseas origins.
Attendees are invited to any of the free, educational 5-Minute Antiques Schools taking place throughout the weekend. Join expert dealers for an entertaining series of mini lectures. For details see their website.
