Featured Native American Baskets at Auction Update

So today was the auction for those nifty baskets I posted a few weeks ago. A usual, the went above my budget of $14.25 per basket.....

anyway, in order....

1) sold for $1100
2) sold for $975
3) sold for $850
4) sold for $875

 

your budget needs to be bolstered........

 

I feel your pain ! I have a $5 budget I just wont allow myself to go over and I often regret it ! I will stretch to $20 if Im really feeling it !

 

Johnny- I can loan ya 20, or hell-make it a late Xmas present ! Still thinking bout you and that damn GW Russian spoon (in a FL GW !).

 

If basket #2 is a $1000 basket, I gotta get in that auction! I have a couple of those!

They don't sell for anywhere near that here. I guess Arizona is different.

 

Last time I sold a pot it was an auction thru Rago Arts, wasn't disappointed.
@vitry-le-francois can't recall-did you find them at a Thrift,Auction,Flea market ?
PS-No specifics expected of course.

 

he didn't own them..

 

I am not surprised by the prices, particularly if the labels included some attribution to a particular collector or museum. If a dealer bought them, I imagine they may (at least) double the prices. What country was this auction in?

 

Sorry Vitry- Wish they would've been yours, or as an alternative-Mine. An extra five grand always comes in handy (escape cash !)
PS- We always like the 'wee' jest here of course ?

 

oh , double at le

oh, double for sure.......... at least
even the Ute,,,, which is never as pricey as the others , but this one is as good an example as I've seen..

 

Actually, this was in Michigan

Dont hate me because Im beautiful ! I know,I still cant believe it happened ! When I look at it I fall in love all over again.

 

On the other hand, now you know exactly the real market and understand that these are no longer just decor, but serious collectibles.
