American Values create Auction Values.
A second-generation auction house with a national reach, rooted in Northern California.
In 1982, Brad and Angie Witherell hosted their first auction at the Embassy Suites hotel in San Francisco. Over 40 years later, Brian and Donna Witherell continue the family legacy. Witherell is an independent, high end auction house built on the American family values of honesty and integrity.
