“A day of treasure hunting led to my experience with Cowley Abbott Auctions. I had purchased at an estate sale, pottery created by Canadian artist, Emily Carr. Something far beyond my collection. Art that deserved to be seen and appreciated. After researching numerous auction houses I knew they were my best choice. They shared excitement in my find. Katlin was professional, knowledgeable and created a great experience for me as a consigner. Auction results brought top dollar. Art found its way home. I highly recommend Cowley Abbott. Top notch!” – Jennifer Schmidt
