Antiques & Decorative Arts: Matthew's Galleries

Since 2002, Matthew’s Galleries has presented at least two fine arts auctions each year, specializing in 19th & 20th century paintings, watercolors, prints and sculpture. The auctions are in addition to operating its retail gallery for the last 41 years. While the gallery is still the only American Northwest fine arts auction house, preparation is being made for a June 1, 2010 antiques and decorative arts auction. The gallery’s clientele has long urged Matthew W. Gerber, owner/director, to return to antiques and decorative arts sales, which the gallery concluded in 1992. Consequently, the gallery is seeking a broad range of quality consignments for the June sale: ceramics, glass, fine jewelry, silver, watches, Oriental rugs, textiles, furniture, lamps, clocks, primitives, books, photography, memorabilia, collectibles, objects of art, and of course paintings, fine prints and sculpture.

About Matthew's Galleries:

Matthew's Galleries was opened by its current owner/director Matthew W. Gerber in 1968. The specialty has always been quality 19th & 20th century American paintings with some European works as well. Emphasis is on Northwest and California regionalist artists. The retail part of the gallery offers at least 300 works for sale on exhibit at any given time. In addition, the gallery presents at least two art auctions each year at its large venue located about 10 miles from Portland, Oregon, just one block off I-5.
