It’s no mystery why the Cashiers Annual Antique Show has been a Red Letter Event on the Plateau’s calendar for the last 44 years. Find out for yourself August 4 through 6at the Village Green.
Don’t miss the 2023 Cashiers Annual Antique Show August 4-6 at the Village Green in Cashiers. It’s their 45th annual show, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Hours are from 9:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. on Friday and Saturday and 11:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. on Sunday, but this year early shoppers can gain access on Friday from 7:30 A.M. until 9:00 A.M. Tickets for early admission shoppers are $35, which is good for all 3 days. Regular admission is $18 and is good for all three days. A portion of this year’s proceeds will be donated to the Glenville-Cashiers rescue squad.
Show manager Hazel Giles says, “The continued success of this show is a testament to the variety and quality of items brought by exhibitors from across the country.” She’s also excited that this year’s door prize is an exquisite late 19th-century quilt.
Barbara Kelly, of Antique Gallery in Augusta, is returning to the show for her sixth year and stresses that dealers clamor for space in this show.
“It took me 12 years to get into the show,” she says. She loves everything about this show – the area, the weather, and the people who come from throughout the country. Barbara specializes in 18th and 19th English and French antiques and spent March of this year in England and Wales buying for this show.
The show will once again be held on The Village Green, utilizing the new Lewis Hall and nearby pavilion, as well as an expansive adjoining tent complete with floor panels so shoppers will stay dry no matter the weather.
Forty-three exhibitors from across the country and as far away as Great Britain will be here for this show. Antique lovers will find a myriad of treasures including 18th and 19th European and American Furniture. They will also have selections of mid-century furniture; lighting, including chandeliers; world-class marine art and antiques; fine art; exquisite vintage linens; American and European pottery; Black Forest carvings and furniture; fine silver; brilliant cut glass; jewelry; fine European porcelains; bronzes; early sporting memorabilia; Majolica; and, much more.
For early risers, Chocolate Heaven will once again be on hand to offer breakfast goodies, and coffee will be available. Proceeds from all coffee sales will go to the Fishes and Loaves food pantry. Lobster Dogs of Asheville will have fabulous lunch offerings for purchase.
