We are now accepting consignments for our upcoming Local Fine Art Auction!

We’re excited to announce that we are now accepting consignments for our next art auction, featuring cherished works by Abner and Aaron Zook—the famed Amish‑born identical twins from Womelsdorf PA whose deeply sculptural, diorama‑style paintings have become beloved treasures of Pennsylvania folk art. Their work is known for carved figures, layered landscapes, architectural detail, and vivid storytelling that captures the daily rhythms of Amish and rural Pennsylvania life. Their artistic legacy continues through family members and fellow regional folk artists, forming one of the most recognizable bodies of American folk art today.

This event celebrates craftsmanship, heritage, and meaningful handmade work—pieces that offer not just visual appeal but the stories and traditions embedded within them. We welcome consignors who appreciate this spirit, whether you’re offering a Zook diorama, a local landscape, or another fine artwork ready to be shared with new admirers.

If you have questions, we’re happy to guide you through the process or help determine whether your piece is a good fit. We’d love to hear the story behind what you have!
