Upcoming Auction:

The Historic Eli Wilner Frame Gallery Auction

January 2024

Over 500 frames from the Eli Wilner Gallery (New York City). These are the finest frames in Wilner’s collection.  This sale will be the most important frame collection to ever be offered for auction. The Wilner collection previously included frames adorning 28 paintings on the walls of the White House, as well as the hand-carved and gilded eagle-crested frame for Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, which is currently featured as the focal point of the American Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. All 550 frames are original period frames collected by Wilner over the span of his 40 year career as a gallery owner.
