Now entering its fifth year running, the Charleston Show presents antique lovers with an unparalleled collection of antiquities, jewelry, fine art and contemporary design. The show will kick off with a preview party and gala on Thursday, March 19, benefiting the Drayton Hall Preservation Trust. The gala provides an opportunity to support the collections and preservation of the historic estate as well as a chance for a first look at the antique show’s offerings. The official event will then open to the public through the rest of the weekend, March 20 to 22, taking place at Charleston Festival Hall.
