IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY AT THE TOP OF THE AUCTION WORLD

With sales approaching $20 million, Cowan’s has been making a bit of history of its own, establishing record prices paid for American Indian artifacts, Midwestern furniture and other extraordinary decorative art pieces.

Located in Cincinnati, we’re nationally recognized, with a reputation for attracting the nation’s top collectors and dealers. More than 1000 bidders typically take part in each sale, with customers from as far away as South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Cowan’s specialized divisions include:

Furniture, Paintings and Decorative Art - Our decorative art experts are exceedingly knowledgeable. They bring decades of experience in areas such as paintings, ceramics and glass, art pottery, folk art and art-carved furniture to every auction. We’ve raised the selling of Decorative Art to an art form itself, realizing record prices for a broad range of remarkable antiques.

American Indian & Western Art - Spirit, beauty and power. Is it any wonder our passion for all things American Indian and Western is as vast as the West itself? With two auctions a year in this popular category, we’ve handled lots that include rare Inuit collections, paintings, and photographs from the Wild West that have inspired fierce bidding wars.

Historic Firearms and Early Militaria - Our army of experts includes some of the country’s top experts on historic firearms, Civil War weaponry, the American flag, and other patriotic textiles. Featuring items that typically span the American Revolutionary War to WWII, our auctions of antique firearms garner spirited bidding at world record prices.

Historic Americana - Led by a former archeologist, our specialists in Historic Americana can readily dig up the details that maximize bids for everything from an exceptionally rare autographed photo of Abraham Lincoln to scarce daguerreian images, photographs of the American West, manuscripts, books, and maps.

In addition to expert auction estimates, Cowan’s offers professional appraisals for trust valuation, insurance, charitable donations, and estate planning and settlement appraisals.
At every Cowan’s auction, riveting history unfolds, drama builds, expectations mount, and bids climb. And in the end, both buyers and sellers go home thrilled.
It’s no wonder millions are sold on us.
