About Us
We have worked tirelessly by researching, investing, travelling and living our dream of collecting,witnessing and handling the art of the Native American Indian and Eskimo for well over a decade. Along the way we have been privileged to frequent many of the finest museums and to meet many of the great museum curators, authors and scholars in the field that have helped educate us and offer much priceless advice. This has helped us achieve our dreams of building a collection worthy of most museums. Our collection it seems is now outgrowing our spaces. Being collectors at heart, we have amassed a true treasure trove of fine and authentic museum quality artifacts mostly from the Pacific Northwest Coast, Alaskan Eskimo and the Canadian artic regions that we are now going to share with you. Many of the items you about to view have been in the family collection, on display in our house and personally enjoyed and cherished by ourselves and vistitors. These one of a kind objects are full of history, power, and stories. Whether it be a cold heavy argillite stone carving produced by Haida craftsman into a miniature totem monuments resembling ancient statuary of their ancestral villages, or the amazing striking and complex patterns of the basketry vessels created by the women of the Tlingit, Salish and Makah tribes, we hope you will find something here that entices your senses. Most of our pieces are museum quality, one-of-a-kind items, selected for their rarity and quality.
Acquisitions
As quality Historic American Indian Art has become increasingly difficult to obtain, the Richmojoe Gallery has remained focused on obtaining quality authentic American Indian Art from around the world. Searching out new sources and for new treasures wherever they may be tucked away. With a primary focus in the old Northwest Coast Indian Art including: basketry, wood carvings, totems in wood and argillite, as well as historic Eskimo and vintage Inuit stone sculptures.
