"Come for the antiques; stay for the atmosphere" is a motto that rings true at Round Top—the now-legendary antiques and collectibles event that takes place for nearly two weeks each spring and fall throughout the Texas countryside of Fayette County. After forty-two years in the making, the show's magnitude is something that must be experienced in order to be believed. Amidst miles of open fields and along the roadsides surrounding Round Top, a multitude of dealers display their wares for throngs of enthusiasts who come with hopes of uncovering the hidden treasures here. Devoted followers who scour venues such as Marburger Farm and Rifle Hall can go home with a host of coveted finds that includes high-end period furniture, European textiles, architectural salvage, and an unbelievable cache of eclectic decorative accessories.
