The 2026 San Francisco Fall Show will take place from Thursday, October 15 through Sunday, October 18 at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture’s Festival Pavilion. The Show’s legendary Opening Night Gala will take place on October 14 with Honorary Co-Chairs Zac Posen, Executive Vice President, Creative Director of Gap Inc. and Chief Creative Officer of Old Navy and Stellene Volandes, Editor-in-Chief of Town & Country (celebrating its 180th anniversary this year!) and Editorial and Brand Director of Elle Décor. We are also delighted to announce the Show’s return to non-profit 501c (3) status, reaffirming its mission to preserve, cultivate, and
advance the decorative arts through education and by inspiring an enduring appreciation for craftsmanship, design, and cultural heritage.

The 2026 Show will celebrate Métallique Chic. Think gold leaf, silver filigree, copper patina, platinum polish, pearlescent pewter and time-worn bronze. Art, antiques, design, and jewelry each take their turn at the podium: Rococo gilding, Brutalist metalwork, Art Deco chrome, Georgian silverware, iridescent colors, burnished surfaces… The result is a sparkling dialogue in which every precious metal carries a story, and every object – whether centuries old or freshly
minted – celebrates craftsmanship, history, and scintillating reflection. It’s time to shine!

This 44th edition of the Show will feature dealers from around the world, offering for sale an extraordinary range of fine and decorative arts representing all styles and periods including American, English, Continental and Asian furniture and decorative objects, paintings, prints, books, gold, silver and precious metals, jewelry, rugs, textiles and ceramics. Dealers are invited to bring pieces from antiquity to present day. The Show also features a popular series of book signings and lectures.

The Grand Entry Hall of the Show will feature four Designer Vignettes created by prominent designers and members of the Show’s Design Council, each incorporating pieces borrowed from Show Exhibitors as well as stunning wallcoverings by Show sponsor Schumacher. The 2026 vignette designers are:

Christine and John Chachot, GACHOT
Christopher Roy, CHRISTOPHER ROY & CO.
Elizabeth Lawrence, WILLIAMS LAWRENCE and Scott J. Sottile, FERGUSON & SHAMAMIAN ARCHITECTS
Meg Braff, MEG BRAFF DESIGNS

Show Chair Suzanne Tucker promises: “For anyone interested in art and design, furniture and the decorative arts – buying, collecting, or simply learning about art and antiques – this show is not to be missed. It’s a Bay Area ‘Must Do!’ of the fall social season with four wonderful, vibrant days filled with terrific dealers, fascinating lectures, and gobs of eye candy. “
