The three-day fair featured thousands of pieces, from sterling silver and plates, linen and lace, fine crystal and glassware to clocks, rugs, kitchenalia, tools and toys.
Organiser Euan Coutts said there had been a growing interest in antiques, with numbers through the doors up on previous years.
“We’ve seen some beautiful stuff (sold),” Mr Coutts said.
“It’s a great bringing together of community.”
Dealers came from across the region to showcase their wares at the fair, which has cemented itself among the country’s best.
The annual event is a fundraiser for Oxley High School.
