I recently attended one of the biggest event of the season, The San Francisco Fall Antique Show, benefitting Enterprise for High School Students. This is the oldest continuously operating antique show on the West Coast (established in 1981 as a major fundraising event). The show gathers more than seventy dealers from across the nation and Europe showcasing a range of fine and decorative arts representing all style and periods for SF's elite crowd.
