History

Joe Caldwell was a born collector. Starting as a boy with matchbook covers in the 1930s, his interest in antiques was piqued while attending Deerfield Academy and living in a dormitory which was a colonial home in one of America's most historic villages. After graduating college, serving in the military, and joining the family lumber business, Joe and his wife Marcy began collecting in earnest as a young couple in the early 1960s. Learning the ropes as a collector, Joe came to admire a select group of knowledgeable and reputable dealers who possessed remarkable eyes for quality.

In 1973, having decided his true passions in life centered around art and antiques, Joe established The Caldwell Gallery. Since our founding, we've helped build private, museum, and corporate collections throughout the United States and abroad. Son Jay Caldwell joined the firm in 1985, working alongside Joe until his passing in 2017 at age eighty-eight.

In 2025, Jay begins his 40th year in the art business, continuing as a full-time private dealer focused on the core mission and principles established  by Marcy and Joe in 1973. The fine art of buying, selling, evaluating and consulting with private and museum clients throughout the country continues. We welcome your inquiry.
