Antiquing in Virginia:
A Curated Journey
Treasure Hunting in Virginia
Join us in Richmond, Virginia for a journey centered around beauty, discovery, and the joy of the hunt.
At the heart of the experience is — a new destination event bringing together antiques dealers, artists, interior designers, and artisans from across the country for an elegant and immersive shopping experience:
East Coast Expo: Antiques, Art & Design – September 17-20, 2026.
We invite you to make a week of it in Virginia.
Stay with our hotel partners, spend your days exploring East Coast Expo, then continue the adventure through Virginia’s extraordinary landscape of antique shops, historic towns, beautiful architecture, and hidden treasures throughout the Central Virginia region.
This is more than an antiques show. It is a thoughtfully curated Virginia getaway.
Find the perfect antique for your home. Discover new artists and makers. Enjoy long lunches, historic streets, beautiful hotels, and the simple pleasure of wandering through places filled with character and story.
Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply someone who loves beautiful things, we hope you will spend time with us in Virginia.
At East Coast Expo, we encourage our guest to look for the beauty and take home the magic.

Kim Faison opened the doors to her eponymous Richmond shop in 1987. Since then, she’s become a premier resource for designers and collectors. Her curated collections of 17th-, 18th- and early 19th-century English and Continental European antiques include early Scandinavian, Danish, French, Italian and Dutch porcelains, mirrors, seating, tables, case pieces and more. “I focus on early things,” says Faison, who travels to Europe on frequent buying trips for the shop.
