About The Rago Arts and Auction Center

Rago Arts and Auction Center is a leading U.S. auction house. It handles decorative arts and furnishings, fine art, jewelry and property in a variety of other categories.

Since its founding by David Rago in 1995 (after a decade of auctions in New York City), Rago’s has served thousands of sellers and buyers with a singular blend of global reach and personal service. First specializing in 20th century design, Rago’s steadily expanded into auctions of fine art, estate property, silver and jewelry and tribal property. Our auction house yields a heavy and very active hammer, consistently matching – even outselling - the big gun auction houses for first tier property. A world-class venue through which to buy and sell, it is also a destination for those who seek to learn and share knowledge about art, antiques and collecting, with free valuations for personal property (from a single piece to collections and estates) and auction exhibitions in house and online.

The specialists at Rago’s provide decades of experience and an unmatched degree of personal service to their international clientele. Founding partners David Rago and Suzanne Perrault can be seen as featured appraisers on the PBS series Antiques Roadshow and all specialists appear at major shows and conferences across the country.

Rago’s client base is 40,000 strong and encompasses serious collectors, dealers, interior designers. Among the art and design cognoscenti who wield a paddle at Rago’s are Kelly Wearstler, Jeffrey Bilhuber, Peter Marino, Tom O’Brien, Juan Montoya, Steven Sclaroff, Vincente Wolf, Andre Balazs.

“This is a home for buyers and sellers who seek excellence without attitude,” says David Rago. “We know how to bring property to market and how to bring the market to the property. We achieve prices on par – and often above – the best-known auction houses for first tier work and draw attention to client’s good pieces by selling them with the best. We handle fine property not just with proficiency, but with genuine enthusiasm. It’s why we attract the quality of property we do. It’s also why collectors, dealers and designers worldwide choose to buy here.”
