One does not have to be history buff or a collector to enjoy attending the Cashiers Annual Antique Show, August 5-7, at the Village Green Commons in Cashiers. As with many ongoing and traditional events and activities, the pandemic paused the show for two years, but it is being offered full-force to the community this summer. Show manager Hazel Giles said she has been organizing the show for 15 years, but she has exhibited at the show for 43 years. “I’ve been in the antiques business for 45 years. In fact, antiques have been my love since I was a little girl. I shopped with my mother and sister in Charleston and the coastal areas of North and South Carolina while I was growing up. It was a wonderful experience, and it still is.” Giles still attends some shows and estate events, and she often appraises antiques.The 44th Antique Show, explained Giles, has a new venue and an extensive lineup of more than 40 dealers. A main building that is part of the Commons, Lewis Hall, will host 14 of the exhibitors. An array of statuary, fountains, cast iron furnishings, and more will be on display at the Garden Stone Art and Antiques, and two massive tents with interlocking floors will house 26 exhibitors showcasing a myriad of antiques as well. Plus, a Chips Away Glass Repair station will be housed in the Pavilion. Said Giles, “Attendees will discover an outstanding array of jewelry; fine porcelain; sterling silver and silver plate; Black Forest items; elegant boxes; high country, formal American and European furniture (everything from mid-century modern to southern casual and rustic); fine linens; antique prints and fine art by noted artists; and, much more. “Nothing will be priced outrageously. We want people to be able to purchase their Christmas presents in the summer at this show or for attendees to look for items to add to collections and to outfit their homes. This is a quality show…no junk.” Visit cashiersbenefitantiqueshow.com for tickets and more information, or check out the Antique Show Facebook page.
