Ivey Selkirk is the second oldest auction house in the United States. Family owned and operated, the professional auction house has been a tradition in St. Louis since 1830! Ivey Selkirk holds six internationally recognized auctions annually and advertises local auctions monthly. You can find traditional 18th and 19th century fine art and antiques as well as 20th century modern design works. If that's not enough, they also offer fine jewelry, automobiles, decorative arts and other collectibles.
Twice a year they hold a Modernism auction, which we have now attended for the past 2 years. We've been extremely lucky at times, however, we've made some really stupid mistakes as well. But, we're excited about everything that we've "won" and the pieces we didn't get? Well, there's always next time.

I plan to update my blog with images of our purchases through Ivey Selkirk (and the history behind them) over the next few weeks...
