Some websites for 20th Century Design

Over the past few months I have been encouraging fellow appraisers to become more aware of 20th century design. These more recent decorative arts are drawing a lot of attention, interest and dollars, so we as appraiser need to stay current with what is popular, and of course be able to properly evaluate and value.

Fellow appraiser Angela Whitaker sent me some good websites for 20th century design. Some we are familiar with, others may be new to appraisers.

They are as follows:

1stDibs.com - for Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco with other areas coming soon

LiveAuctioneers.com - comprehensive auction sales results for the last few years on their site

TreadwayGallery.com- Arts and Crafts, Mid-Century, Fine Art, Art Glass and Pottery with results

Architonic.com-Mid Century Modern resource

Ragoarts.com - a mixture of auctions including craftsman and 20th century design
