Freeman's
Introducing Freeman’s—America’s Auction House since 1805
The prestige of Freeman’s, Cowan’s, and Hindman—now united under one timeless name. This November, the company will move forward simply as Freeman’s, honoring its historic legacy. The rebrand coincides with the 220th anniversary of its founding in November 1805, when Tristram B. Freeman was appointed auctioneer for the City of Philadelphia.
For more than two centuries, Freeman’s has connected people with extraordinary objects. This next chapter brings together the firm’s combined history, experience, and national reach under one trusted name. Though the brand has evolved, the commitment to clients remains unchanged: to provide exceptional service and expertise at every step.
Upcoming Auctions from Freeman's
American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionists
The spring installment of American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionists offers a cross-section of American art history, bridging the gap between 19th-century still life and landscape painting, masterworks by Childe Hassam and Thomas Wilmer Dewing, and the crisp narratives of mid-century modernism. The sale is anchored by an appealing selection of canvases by New Hope Impressionists Edward Redfield, Rae Sloan Bredin, Mary Elizabeth Price, and Kenneth Nunamaker, and also by Walter Emerson Baum's Late Afternoon (1933), arguably his most compelling interpretation of the region. A strong selection of Golden Age illustration—by the likes of Howard Pyle, Ethel Franklin Betts, and Sarah Stilwell Weber—highlights Freeman's historical strengths in the Brandywine School while standout examples by Everett Shinn, William Glackens, Edward Henry Potthast, and Martha Walter offer a counterpoint to offerings by Peter Blume, Milton Avery, Jamie Wyeth, and Lynne Drexler.

Freeman's proudly presents Important Jewelry on June 10. A special section of the sale features 'Grace and Gavel: Jewelry from the Collection of the Honorable Sandra Schultz Newman,' the first woman elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

The auction also includes property from various owners, estates, and significant private collections from across the country, as well as flower-motif pieces from Van Cleef & Arpels, an exceptional Oscar Heyman sapphire and diamond bracelet, and iconic pieces from Bulgari, Cartier, Marina B, and Tiffany & Co.

Friendly customer service
Very helpful response to a request for additional photos. Unfortunately, the automated shipping service is rather expensive and does not allow for personal contact to negotiate/explore more economic options.

Very pleased with Cincinnati location.
The Cincinnati location is top drawer. The young lady I dealt with was extremely sharp, answered a couple of questions I had and was able to take my payment and arrange shipping all during the same phone call. She even spotted a discrepancy in my mailing address, that she corrected then and there. I will definitely be bidding with them in the future.

High quality antique painting, even better than described!
While I waited for it to arrive, I was sure I had paid too much, but when it got here, I felt like I got a great deal! Painting was well worth the money. I would definitely buy from Freeman's again. Thank you!
