Old Adobe Traders

I went to Old Adobe Traders today to kill some time while I was waiting for my sandwich to be made up the street. What an amazing store! The uniqueness of the inventory truly shows the time and energy that goes into stocking the place. If you like turquoise, you MUST go here! The owner, Merlin, has an amazing knowledge of stones and really takes pride in what he buys and sells. You’ll know more about the piece that you bought than you ever expected to know. And if you’re into Native American art, this is the place for you.
I left with a gorgeous turquoise cuff that I will treasure forever. And it didn’t break my bank.
Old Adobe Traders is a gem!

Here is a place where one can find lots of old and some amazing new — all Native American Indian Art, from jewelry, to rugs, baskets, all kinds of handy-​craft items, with an ever changing inventory from the best artists of today as well as the past.
Merlin Carlson, the owner, is a well recognized appraiser for museums and private collections. If there is a question about value, authenticity, he is most knowledgeable, and I can attest to the fact that he stands behind his word 110%. I’ve been dealing with him for over 11 years and am always happy with the results. If you like Native American, visit his store and enjoy a world of amazing artists, combining the past with the present. You won’t go wrong.
Adobe also buys, so contact Merlin if you have anything you might want to pass on to another generation.
