sales & acquisitions

private treaty Sales

With 30+ years experience buying, selling, promoting and auctioning Western art, antiques and firearms, Brian Lebel is uniquely positioned to help facilitate sales for clients around the globe. Old West Antiques has an extensive network of sellers, collectors, curators, auction houses and other resources for identifying and accessing prospective buyers. Private treaty sales offer the option of discreet and timely turnaround with flexible terms and minimal exposure. Auction sales, on the other hand, provide an opportunity for worldwide exposure and the possibility of “run-away” results. Whether through private sale or auction, Brian helps sellers understand which sales method is likely to realize the best results for the seller.

Those looking to purchase Western art and antiques can trust that Old West Antiques will guide them in identifying reputable sellers, helping negotiate fair terms, and protecting the privacy of all parties. Whether you are seeking special items to begin, further or complete your collection, we know whom to ask and where to look.
