About

Provenance West sources and commissions fine objects of the American West for companies, collectors, and homes. We started from a shared curiosity about the things people made, the problems they solved, and the craftsmanship that gives the West its character..

We spend our time researching, meeting makers and dealers, and following ideas wherever they lead. Some become pieces in our collection. Others become commissions shaped around a client’s story.

(How it started)

As a journalist, I learned that every good story starts with a source. Western objects are no different. Behind every saddle, spur, and tool is a maker, a place, and a history worth knowing. Provenance West grew from wanting to find those stories and bring them to the people who will value them most.

Together

One of us is usually asking, “What could this become?” The other is asking, “How are we going to make it?” Together, we source and create objects that mark a moment and are worth keeping

OUR VIEW

We love the visual language of the West. We’re interested in what else it can become and we’re building Provenance West one discovery, one experiment, and one object at a time.
