About the Show


The 2024 Thomasville Antiques Show will be held at the Biscuit Company February 22-25, 2024, featuring high-end antiques and fine art exhibitors who travel from all over the United States to display their treasures. The Show’s mission is to raise funds for non-profit organizations that directly benefit children’s programs here in Thomasville. There is something for the whole family, from special design lectures and presentations to the floral workshop and exquisite gatherings. We hope to see everyone there in February!

A BIG thank you to Schumacher for teaming up with us on this year’s show image, Plates and Platters wall covering by Johnson Hartig.
