The San Francisco Fall Antiques Show has been nominated for the Luxist Awards in the best antiques resource category. It's the oldest continuously running international antiques show on the West coast and features around 70 dealers from the U.S. and Europe. The Show was started in 1981 as the primary fundraiser for Enterprise for High School Students and is proud to continue that relationship today. All proceeds from admission ticket sales, Preview Party tickets, and catalog advertising goes to the non-profit to support early career development and job referrals for students in the San Francisco area.

The Show provides access to a variety of decorative items from all different time periods and styles including American, English, Continental, and Asian in the form of textiles, fine art, ceramics, jewelry, prints, and photographs. All items are vetted with the help of the Antiques Dealers Association of California to give buyers peace of mind that they're getting quality merchandise. In addition to antique shopping attendees of the San Francisco Antiques show can enjoy an interesting and educational line-up of lectures on topics like The Antiquities Culture Wars, Napoleon's Empire and Egypt, and Houses of the Ancient World.

The San Francisco Fall Antiques Show runs from October 29 - November 1st, 2009 at the Festival Pavilion, Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, CA.
