Houston Galleria Area Location Opening February 2010

Morton Kuehnert Auctioneers & Appraisers will be moving in February of this year to a state-of-the-art 24,000 square foot stand-alone building near the Houston Galleria.

The antiques, fine art, jewelry, silver, and decorative arts auction house has leased the property at 4901 Richmond Avenue; the current site of Parvizian Signature Rugs. During the remodeling phase Morton Kuehnert will continue to host their Thursday night auctions at their current location at 2801 W Sam Houston Parkway N.

“This move is an indication of the confidence we have in the global economy and in the Houston marketplace,” said Luis C. Lopez-Morton, chairman and managing director. “We are also responding to our clientèle who have encouraged us to move to a location that is convenient for consignors and buyers alike,” he added.
