Every design lover knows the thrill of finding that one piece — the table that anchors a room, the chair that looks custom, or the lamp that changes your lighting game completely. But what if you could source those high-end pieces without the high-end markup — and do it sustainably?
Welcome to Curtain Call Richmond’s Annual Furniture Consignment Event, where smart shoppers, designers, and homeowners all meet in one 78,000-square-foot space to score incredible finds that are as eco-friendly as they are beautiful.

The Event That Redefines Smart Design
Held twice a year inside the old JC Penney building at Regency Square, Curtain Call Richmond has been a local tradition for more than 26 years. It’s part treasure hunt, part design showcase — a rotating gallery of high-quality furniture, artwork, lighting, and décor all priced at a fraction of retail.

Unlike warehouse sales or clearance events, this is curated consignment. Many pieces come from top Richmond designers and professional home stagers, which means every item was chosen with a designer’s eye — scale, proportion, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.

So whether you’re furnishing your first apartment, staging a home for sale, or simply craving a seasonal refresh, Curtain Call gives you access to the same level of design you see in luxury projects — without the luxury price tag.
Sustainability Meets Style

There’s another layer to the story: buying consignment furniture is one of the greenest ways to shop for your home.
Each piece sold through this event gets a second life. Instead of ending up in a landfill, solid wood dressers, designer sofas, and handcrafted tables go home with new owners who appreciate their quality and character.

That’s the beauty of sustainable design — it’s not about sacrifice. It’s about being intentional with your choices, valuing craftsmanship over mass production, and extending the life of what already exists.
And because Curtain Call sources so much locally, your purchase supports small businesses, local artisans, and a community that believes in better design with less waste.
Upgrade Without Overspending

Design can feel intimidating, but great design doesn’t require a blank check. A single statement piece — a textured console, a sculptural chair, or even a new purse or dress — can transform your space instantly.
Shopping consignment helps you:
Stretch your budget further without compromising quality.
Access designer-approved brands and custom pieces.
Mix eras and styles for a look that feels layered and intentional.
Feel good knowing you’re shopping sustainably.
The best part? The inventory changes daily. Once a piece is gone, it’s gone — so every visit feels like a new discovery.
Why Designers Love Curtain Call
Even professional designers shop here. It’s a sourcing playground — the kind of place where you find real wood construction, upholstery that can be re-covered beautifully, or art that tells a story.
It’s also where creativity thrives. Pair a vintage table with modern chairs, a classic rug with a minimalist sofa, or an antique chest as a statement entry piece. Design rules bend at Curtain Call — and that’s where the magic happens.
A Greener, Smarter Way to Style Your Home
Shopping consignment isn’t just about saving money — it’s about making mindful choices that elevate your home and reduce waste. Curtain Call Richmond proves you don’t need to sacrifice design, comfort, or quality to stay on budget and on trend.
So whether you’re on the hunt for a unique statement piece or ready to reimagine your entire space, start here — where budget meets beautiful and sustainability meets style.
Twice yearly — 78,000 square feet of designer furniture, artwork, and décor
