January in New York is synonymous with Americana. Sotheby’s presents its annual Americana Week, a series of auctions dedicated to American Folk Art, 18th-century furniture, and silver. Running through January 24, 2026, this event attracts the most serious collectors of American history.
Highlights of the 2026 sales include a rare Chippendale block-and-shell carved bureau table and significant manuscript collections from the Revolutionary era. As we approach the nation’s semiquincentennial, these assets are becoming increasingly pivotal in diversified portfolios. Clients often utilize luxury asset loans to leverage their current holdings when bidding on such unique pieces.
