Twice a year, the tiniest incorporated town in Texas, Round Top, grows from its usual population of 81 to many thousands.
Collectors come from every state and abroad, all to shop the world-famous Round Top Antiques Fair.
Exhibitors are the best of the best. They know that no one gets in to shop the show until 9 a.m. on Friday morning, so it's a fair game for all. Furniture is in original condition and often in paint. Appropriate accessories everywhere complement the country lifestyle. There are also specialty dealers in English and European provincial styles to add an international flavor to the show.
