Waddington’s is internationally recognized as one of the leading authorities in the sale of Inuit and First Nations art.

From our first landmark auction in 1978 of the William Eccles Collection to our development of the free online resource Katilvik in 2006, Waddington’s has offered thousands of works, set record prices, and helped to build a robust international market.
