For centuries, the American Southwest hypnotized many who visited and lived there. During those travels and adventures, travelers returned with cherished treasures, many of which have been passed down through the generations to us today. These treasures included massive silver and turquoise jewelry, dazzling Navajo rugs, beautiful Pueblo pottery, detailed Apache baskets, and so much more, made by the American Indian tribes located in New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and California. From the Grand Canyon to the Great Plains, the American Southwest inspired artists and craftsman alike. On Wednesday, March 6, Cordier Auctions invites the public to bring in their high quality American Indian treasures to consign. Cordiers will not only assist in identifying the items unique qualities but also provide expert insights on their auction value. Here at Cordier Auctions, we want you to get the most value out of your items, as we win only when you win. For all of our auctions, we expertly market and present your items to an international audience from the heart of Central Pennsylvania. Cordier Auctions is teaming up with Peter Seibert, a nationally known expert in fine and decorative arts, for this special consignment event and to bring his expert knowledge to your items.
