Experienced and novice antiques collectors gain valuable advice from experts across a range of specialties at this annual event. Each year's Antiques Forum presentations center on a theme related to a particular period, region, culture, or design motif.

The 2017 New Orleans Antiques Forum will examine the artistry and influence of those individuals whose hands crafted the decorative arts so cherished in the South. Now in its tenth year, this four-day program is nationally regarded as one of the premier events for antiques collectors and enthusiasts. Join us for presentations by renowned speakers, optional activities—including a guided tour and a jazz brunch—and plenty of fun in historic New Orleans.
