Marburger Farm, an esteemed antique and design show in Texas, has announced the unveiling of Gage Hall, a new exhibition space crafted from salvaged materials gathered from its expansive 43-acre property. This move not only reflects a commitment to sustainability but also honors the site’s agricultural roots while positioning it for future growth.
The facade of Gage Hall prominently features reclaimed timber sourced locally, topped with a traditional Texas metal roof paired with contemporary skylights that facilitate an influx of natural light into the interior. This architectural blend highlights both the historical significance of the building materials and modern design elements, establishing a welcoming environment for attendees.
With the addition of Gage Hall, Marburger Farm expands its shopping area by 7,500 square feet, bringing the total fair space to a remarkable 100,000 square feet. This expansion enhances the venue’s capacity to host over 200 independent dealers, effectively making it one of the largest antique shows in the United States. Designed to celebrate the heritage of the dairy farm that once occupied the land, Gage Hall also embodies the vision for a vibrant future in antique and design.
Each year, this engaging antiques and design show attracts a diverse audience, including international designers seeking unique items such as furniture, lighting fixtures, and vintage textiles. Renowned figures in the design world, including Kelly Wearstler and Leanne Ford, have frequented the event, solidifying its status as a key destination for design enthusiasts.
In addition to Gage Hall, Marburger Farm features a picturesque Texas-style town square and a number of historic buildings, including a restored 150-year-old saloon that adds to the venue’s charm and allure. These enhancements contribute to an inviting atmosphere that has successfully attracted over 30,000 visitors annually since the show’s inception in 1997.
The Marburger Farm antique show operates three times a year, with events held in January, March, and October. Hosted by Brook Partners, a Dallas-based investment company focused on culture and commerce, Marburger Farm continues to be a hub for exhibitors and visitors alike.
