From July 17 to 20, the 2026 edition of the Nantucket Show returns to the island, celebrating American history through exquisite art and objects that have defined its aesthetic over the past 250 years, as well as its ties to the United Kingdom and beyond.

An international lineup of over two dozen dealers and exhibitors from across the United States, England and Europe, will present a diverse range of traditional and contemporary fine art and decorative objects. Visitors can look forward to featured dealers including William Cook, Spiral Haus, Antique American Wicker, Lawrence Jeffery and many more.
With exhibitors from across the world, visitors will have the opportunity to appreciate a variety of art and objects including American furniture, mid-century modern furniture, folk art, ceramics, silver, prints, jewelry and nautical antiques and more. Every year, the show is organized and put on by the Antiques Council, a professional association of art and antique dealers that ensure the highest ethical and professional standards at its events. The council has organized antique shows on Nantucket for more than three decades, and the Nantucket Show for 10 years. There are more than 50 council members across North America and Europe, all of whom are selected by their peers based on their expertise and the quality of their goods.
