Cayuse Western Americana was started in 1997 by Mary Schmitt,
who had been selling Cowboy and Indian antiques under her own
name since 1989. During this time the American public's
fascination with the cowboy has rapidly grown to challenge the already
strong market in Amercian Indian art and artifacts. Having seen so many items
come and go has enabled Cayuse to offer a collection that is not only unique,
but guaranteed against fraud or forgery.
And we're proud to feature some contemporary artists who are perpetuating
the hand work of the Old West: Clint Orms Silversmiths and Engravers; Susan
Adams, Jeweler and Metalsmith; and Amy Raab, Photographer.
We strive to pull together items of the best quality, condition and
collectibility even though many of our clients don't consider themselves
collectors (they're in denial). We are pleased to count among our clients
Ralph Lauren, the Autry Musuem of Western Heritage, the Wolfsonian Museum,
the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Industry, and many others.
Cayuse and Mary have been featured in many antiques publications, as well as
on Personal FX, in In Style Magazine, Cowboys & Indians Magazine, Teton Home
Magazine, and Jackson Hole Magazine. The Schmitt/Cayuse collection of skirts,
boots, saddles, spurs and other antique cowgirl items is one of the largest
private collections in the country, and was featured in Elizabeth Clair
Flood's "Cowgirls, Women of the Wild West". Mary is also on the board of
directors of the National Bit, Spur and Saddle Collectors Association (NBSSCA).
We hope you enjoy our collection enough to send us your comments. We'd love to hear from you! |
