I try to always make it to the Round Top Antique Show every spring and fall. I’ve seen quite a few, but they are always magical and I always see something amazing. This trip was no different.
All of the photos I’m sharing today are from Marburger. Just look at the paint on that cupboard! I love the finish. I question how old that paint is, but it might be old. The definitely looks old. It’s gorgeous! I’m also crushin on that mirror and the iron planters. What the heck are those wheels on the wall? I like them. Note this is the land of rusty, crusty, chippy.
Looking for a tall candlestick holder? I think this one is 8 ft tall. I love this style, but yeah, I don’t think it’s going to work in my house.
This French chest also looks old, but that finish looks like they added it recently. Just my opinion, but hmmmm. A lot of the antiques come over here as stained wood, but they sell better painted. I still like it. The mirror on the lower left is amazing.
I am soooo drawn to these French pieces. This one also looks old, but recently painted. So for all of those people who say don’t paint antiques, consumers aren’t the only ones doing that. In some cases the antique dealers are. The candlesticks are truly lovely.
I wasn’t looking for a rhino, but he sure is cute. When I go to an antque auction, rarely are the antique French pieces painted. This table is more typical of what I see. The Florentine tables are still white hot, and the prices are insane.
There was loads of silver, linen sheets, grainsacks, white dishes, transferware, and really so much more. Just look at all that silver. I didn’t buy any, but I so enjoyed seeing it all.
And this table looks like the paint job might be original. See how dirty the top looks? That looks like real wear to me.

I’ve got one more post on the show coming next week. I love looking back on the photos and remembering the show.
Round Top has venues all over Round Top, all the way down to Warrenton.
Your posts from Round Top leave me yearning to go……one day I will?
Is the insert How to add farmhouse style only audio?
Diana, yes it’s from our podcast. It’s audio only. That means you can download it to your phone and listen while you do something else.
I love the posts that take me antiquing along with you. i wish you would give us some prices…show us what you could not resist..Thank you for the “tour.” Sherry
I LOVE silver! We’ve were blessed to get and inherit quite a bit, sterling and silverplate, and I have always enjoyed displaying, using and even cleaning the silver. My daughter and I, from the time she was old enough to handle a polishing cloth until she married and started her own traditions, would look forward to that special “girl time” of cleaning the silver before family events. When polished aluminum (Arthur Court and Beatriz Ball) became so popular about 10 years ago, I resisted the temptation to buy into it and kept using our silver. I told my friends, “Silver will make a comeback, just you wait and see!” It blesses me to see this beautiful, exquisite metal coming into its own again.
Oh Anita! I wish I lived closer! I am looking for a small piece to use as a buffet in my dining room, and there are two pictured in your lovely shots that would work PERFECTLY!!! Dying to find something as beautiful, and hopefully for a great price! The quest continues…thanks for the drool-worthy photos?
Happy Easter!

I was all primed to go to Round Top this year but then a glitch in my plans occurred.I enjoyed your highlights.
Love all the antiques, Anita! Sure wish I lived closer so I could go!
Have a blessed Easter!
My hubby and I took a road trip last spring to Round Top, driving from Michigan. We stayed in Fayetteville at a B&B. Loved it and would go back again in a hearbeat, if only it wasn’t so far! I was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t buy a lot, some small things. Love your Round Top posts!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been to Warrenton to shop but never to Round Top. One of these days, I hope to go!
