Searching for rare Old American Indian, Pre-Columbian, Ethnographic
Art
and Mexican Antiques is a very addictive business
venture. I opened my first gallery in 1972, and the hunt for material
has been never ending. I spend most of my
time doing research and scouring the country in search of rare items that have been hidden
away for many years.
After thirty years of traveling endless miles all over the United States,
I have developed a fine network of friends who help me find things.
Now that I've entered the computer age, I hope
it will be easier for me and my clients (old and new) to stay in touch.
If I don't have what you want - there's a pretty good chance I can
find it for you. If you're not interested in buying or selling or
having an appraisal done, but would like
some information about your treasure, please feel free to contact
me and I'll do my best to shed some light on the item. If I can't
help - I can probably send you in the right direction.
Five years ago, my son Andrew joined the business as my partner.
He is well educated in American Indian and Pre-Hispanic art.
Next year he will begin his studies for his Masters Degree in Native
American Studies. He has worked with the Ethnological
Collections Department at the Arizona State Museum and Tucson Museum
of Art for the past six
years.
Being a Charter Member of the
Antique
Tribal Art Dealers Association, I fully guarantee the authenticity
of the material I offer and stand by it completely. If you have
things you would like to sell, I am willing to travel. I am always
interested in buying collections or single items outright or offer
you a consignment service at very reasonable rates.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Higgins & Son
