With 25 years experience across the auction, estate, art, design, e-commerce, and retail industries, it’s safe to say Steward founder and owner Arrin Williams has dedicated his career to objects, consumer goods, and all their inherent stories.

He is also dedicated to his clients and the stories they carry — plus the journeys their collected objects and their family’s heirlooms have taken.

With that in mind, Steward exists to carry on these stories. To, yes, become a steward of the histories told by the things we and our families purchase, collect, display, and treasure.

From the most valuable painting to the smallest, most mysterious ephemeral keepsake, our objects tell us who we are — they are the great identifiers and the grand storytellers.

Trinkets to treasures, Steward respects them all.
