Brave at heart? Then you must make a
pilgrimage to the Brimfield Antique Fair on July
14-19. Held in a vintage barn along a one-mile
stretch of Route 20 in Brimfield, Mass., three
times a year, this legendary fair is the largest
outdoor antique show in the country. You’ll
find over 6,000 dealers offering everything
from coveted estate silver to Early American
furniture.
Sin City may be the last place you’d
expect to find vintage, but prepare to
be pleasantly surprised at Las Vegas
Market, which is launching a new
category this year—Discoveries, The
Antique Vintage Marketplace. Die-hard
collectors, independent retailers and
interior designers will have a chance to
mix and match antiques and one-of-akinds, replenished each day with new
finds. Could it be the new Art Basel of the
antiques world?

Traveling in France this summer? You’ll
find a slice of heaven in L’Isle sur la
Sorgue, a Provençal flea market mecca
with enough antiques spilling from its
historic street corners to make you think
twice about returning to earth. Twice a
year (at Easter and in August), the town
brims with antique stands from over 200
dealers during the International Antiques
Fair. And even if you don’t find your
treasure, you can still enjoy the joie de
vivre of the French countryside!

created for veterans in the design trade who
were searching for more unusual antiques
than available at major London antiques fairs.
Today, the marquee—celebrating its 30th
anniversary this fall—showcases a little bit of
everything: formal antiques
