Former First Lady of N.M. Barbara Richardson House Sale

Former New Mexico First Lady Barbara Richardson is downsizing her Santa Fe home, offering a varied collection of furnishings, art, sculpture and personal collectibles accumulated over the years. The house has a distinctly traditional feel, with New England and East Coast antique furniture throughout: desks, tables, case pieces, occasional chairs and upholstered furnishings with the dark woods, classical proportions and craftsmanship associated with the region. But some of the most compelling pieces are found beyond the furniture. The sale includes work by several significant Southwestern artists, a substantial group of bronzes, crystal glassware, collectible pens and a handful of objects you would not necessarily expect to find together under one roof.

Wall Art: Several works by R.C. Gorman alongside additional paintings and photographs by Laura Gilpin, Bill Eppridge and Mersad Berber

Sculpture: Works by Glenna Goodacre, Gary Mauro, Ernest Rancoulet and Cliff Fragua.

Designer Pens: S.T. Dupont, Waterman, Sheaffer, Faber-Castell, Cartier and Montblanc.

Furniture: Early tables, desks, case pieces, upholstered seating, occasional chairs and twin bedframes
