ASIAN ART Welcome to Garth's!

Sixty years ago our founder, Garth Oberlander sought to create an auction company that went above and beyond to put buyers at ease, protect and honor consignors and build lasting relationships with everyone who entered the doors.

Proudly, since our earliest years, Garth's has worked with nearly 100,000 buyers and sellers on almost every continent. Now recognized as an international force in the world of fine art and antiques, Garth's remains as dedicated as ever to maintaining our unparalleled reputation for customer service, honesty and integrity. Our team works hard for sellers, achieving top dollar by offering buyers a trusted and helpful bidding atmosphere, the highest quality photographs and detailed descriptions.

Additionally, our location in Central Ohio places us within 500 miles of more than 50% of the United States population - offering buyers easy access to preview and bid at our auctions.

Four years ago, we began an active and aggressive effort to grow an Asian Art Department. In that time, we have sold several million dollars of fine objects and art to buyers in the United States, Europe and China. Buyers return to our auctions, time and time again because they trust the information we provide. As a result of this hard work and dedication, Garth's was recently recognized as one of three United States auction houses invited to Beijing to speak and participate in the International Auctioneers Forum.

Garth's straightforward and fair approach to the consignment process allows us to focus our energies on marketing your collection to the most qualified bidders all over the world. Call us today to learn how we might help you with the sale of one object or an entire collection. We look forward to learning more about you and your collection.
