Annual Winter Feature Decoy & Sporting Art Auction 2025
The Start of a New Year - January 25th, 2025
Our January 25th decoy and sporting collectibles auction marked our New Year on a high note. Surging to an incredible new world record for Keith Mueller, one of today's most recognized and awarded decoy carvers, wildlife artist, and author, with his wood duck reaching $8,100. Offering a variety of high quality contemporaries, and a variety of choice antique birds, numerous works by other carvers performed markedly well in this sale. We believe this proves the value of our limited volume, high focus auctions bringing the most attention to detail to these lots for our consignors and buyers.
