The Woman's Board of the Winnetka Community House proudly presents Antiques+ Modernism Winnetka from October 21-23 at the Winnetka Community House, 620 Lincoln Avenue, in Winnetka, Illinois. This spectacular show is a fusion of the former Winnetka Antiques Show and the Modernism Show. Nationally recognized as two of the Midwest's most well-respected events, its combined 60 year history and prevailing reputation speaks to the caliber of this highly anticipated show. 

The Winnetka Show will encompass periods of design ranging from the 17th century to the mid 20th century. Esteemed dealers from across the country will showcase fine examples of American, British, French and Asian antiques, as well as pieces from the Arts and Crafts, Art Nou­veau, Art Deco and Mid-Century design movements.  The exhibition and sale will offer furniture, silver, ceramics, jewelry, garden antiques, lighting, rugs, textiles, fine and folk art, architectural artifacts and more. Collectors, designers and hobbyists alike will delight in the extensive inventory of beautiful objects presented for sale at the historic Winnetka Community House.

Outstanding and knowledgeable dealers from across North America and Europe will be on hand offering their first-rate collections at this exciting show. Dealers are selected on an invitational basis, to ensure the quality of items available for purchase.
