The Philadelphia Show

A lovely set of four antique French silver-and-crystal carafes, by the master Parisian goldsmith and jeweler Emile Froment Meurice.

2600 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, Philadelphia, PA 19130, United States

Philadelphia is a phenomenal city for art and antiques (I know, because I used to live there). And the Philadelphia Show has been an annual event since its founding in 1962. Previously the show benefited Penn Medicine, but in 2018 the Philadelphia Museum of Art took it over; now proceeds benefit the museum’s Division of Digital Resources and Content Strategy. Over 40 dealers of international stature will gather at the Museum. Expect to see antiques, fine art, Americana, period furniture, folk art, ceramics, porcelain, silver, jewelry, textiles, and decorative arts. —Laura Jacobs
