Freeman's Auctioneers & Appraisers
Freeman's, formerly known as Samuel T. Freeman & Co., is an auction house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.〔"About Us." Freeman's website. http://www.freemansauction.com/aboutus.asp〕 It was founded in 1805 by Tristram B. Freeman, a printseller who came to America from London. After an order from Pennsylvania Governor Thomas McKean, Freeman was appointed to the office of auctioneer in Philadelphia, where he subsequently began the company. Over the years Freeman’s has grown both nationally, opening regional offices throughout the US, and internationally, expanding into the European market after forming an alliance with Lyon & Turnbull in 2000. The current Chairman of Freeman’s is Samuel M “Beau” Freeman II, the sixth generation of the Freeman family to run the auction house.
Located at 1808 Chestnut Street, Freeman's offers over 30 in-house auctions a year in sale categories including: American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts, English & Continental Furniture & Decorative Arts, Asian Arts, American Art & Pennsylvania Impressionists, European Art & Old Masters, Modern and Contemporary Art, Rare Books & Manuscripts, Oriental Rugs & Carpets, Jewelry & Watches, Photographs & Photobooks, and Silver & Objet de Vertu.〔"About Us."

On September 10, 2011, Freeman's held an auction that brought $3.5 million for a Jade seal, triple the highest sale in the company's history.〔"Expensive China: A $31 million scroll, an $86 million vase, and other items from the Chinese antiques boom."
