The 2014 San Francisco Fall Antiques Show

What a year, what a show! The 33^rd Annual San Francisco Fall Antiques Show presented the best art and antiques dealers from around the world with a “Rush of Gold” theme. Presenting Sponsors this year included Brooks Brothers, Luxe Interiors + Design, PURE Insurance and Sotheby’s International Realty.

Grand Entry Hall designed by Ike Kligerman Barkley

Guests entered Festival Pavilion at Fort Mason into a massive digital video installation created by the architecture firm, Ike Kligerman Barkley. Slow-motion goldfish, gold flakes, Champagne bubbles and the gears of a 19^th century skeleton clock filled six 20 foot tall screens. The effect was mesmerizing, unexpected and perfectly captured the grandeur of gold.

Once inside guests had rows of beauty to take in (and purchase). Paintings, drawings, furniture, decorative arts, rare books, silver, jewelry, rugs and textiles from across the centuries and around the world.

The Show Exhibition focused on the gold rush era and showcased beautiful and historic pieces from this period, including pieces from the recently found “Saddle Ridge Hoard” and a 75 ounce California gold nugget, just discovered in July on loan from Kagins and pieces on loan from Shreve & Co. and the Society of California Pioneers.  A series of captivating photographs by renowned photographer Fred Lyon focused on San Francisco a century after the Gold Rush-and looked at the city that grew out of this era.
