Treasure hunt in Oaks

The Antique & Collector Fair returns to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on Oct. 16-17 with up to 100 booths of antiques, vintage goods and collectibles.

“A good antique fair can turn into a treasure hunt pretty quickly.”

What you'll find there

Booths feature mid-century furniture, lighting and home décor alongside vintage clothing, jewelry, art glass, pottery, books, maps, toys, musical instruments and folk art.

For mid-century modern fans

Mid-century enthusiasts can hunt for lamps, furniture, barware and home décor from roughly the mid-20th century and earlier periods.

Vintage clothing and jewelry

Vintage shoppers can dig through clothing, textiles, accessories and estate jewelry from various eras.

No expertise required

The show welcomes both serious collectors and casual browsers. You don't need to know porcelain from transferware to enjoy the unpredictable finds.

“There will be plenty for serious collectors, but the show does not require knowing the difference between porcelain and transferware before walking through the door.”

The fair runs Friday, Oct. 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks.
