About Us
The Potomack Company auction house, based in the Washington, D.C. area, serves an international clientele of collectors, estates, historic institutions and museums.
Estates such as those of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Superior Oil (now part of Mobil Oil) founder/philanthropist W.M. Keck, Secretary of State Colin Powell, politicians and business leaders have chosen Potomack to sell their collections, as have museums, the Society of the Cincinnati, corporate art collections and owners of historical material, including letters of our Founding Fathers. In turn, buyers come to Potomack to acquire a piece of those historical lives and important works of art.
Curating collections for Potomack's auctions is an impressive team of specialists with years of appraisal, art advisory and auction art market experience. The specialists have researched and sold works by Bierstadt, Renoir, Calder, Warhol, Linke, Nakashima, Tiffany, Cartier, Hermes and many more.
Based in historic Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, The Potomack Company is strategically positioned in the Washington, D.C. area, an educated international community, and offers strong access to high net-worth buyers and sellers. Its 15,000 sq. ft. gallery offers modern space for staging collections for auction preview.
Potomack field representatives are located in Baltimore, New York City, Long Island/Hamptons, N.Y., Greenwich, Conn., and Charlottesville, Va.
