Witherell’s auction house is a family business rooted in a passion for fine art and antiques, based in Sacramento, a region known for its history and its important 20th century art scene. It all started when Brad Witherell was gifted a Civil War-era Henry rifle from his uncle as a teen, spurring his lifelong obsession with vintage firearms and American Old West antiques. In 1969 Brad Witherell founded Witherell’s as an antique appraiser and dealer, and today he is a leading expert in American Old West antiques with over 50 years of experience. Brad’s son Brian is now continuing the family tradition, having inherited his father’s enthusiasm for antiques and fine things.
