Pridham’s of ottawa & A.H. Wilkens of toronto join forces.

A.H. Wilkens & Pridham’s are excited to announce a partnership in auctioneering and appraisal excellence. Together, our team of experts will be expanding our operations to better serve Eastern Canada with a focus on the Montreal / Ottawa / Toronto corridor.

A.H. Wilkens was founded by Andrew Wilkens and Andrea Zeifman in 2009 in Toronto in a partnership that brought together years of experience in the auction and retail antique sectors of the market. This combined background created a well-balanced understanding and perspective of the complexity of the antique industry. The idea behind A.H. Wilkens was to provide a space where experience could combine with innovation to facilitate the transfer of objects of beauty and craftsmanship effectively, with outstanding efficiency and results.

Robin Andrew Pridham founded Pridham’s Auctions & Appraisals in 2010 in Ottawa following his exceptional business and military career in the Canadian Air Force. He is a graduate of Reppert Auction School (Indiana, USA) and has been active in the fine and decorative arts antique industry for the past 35 years both in retail and as an auctioneer, building Ottawa’s leading full service fine art auction house. Robin will be further expanding Pridham’s already established reputation in Ottawa and Montreal by bringing consignments, estates and collections to be sold at A.H. Wilkens state of the art auction gallery in Toronto.

The synergistic relationship between the two auction partners will further solidify their position in the Canadian auction industry. With the already established relationship between A.H. Wilkens and First Arts, the trio of auctioneers will be a first in Canada to prove the strength in partnership and teamwork, even better servicing our clients across the country and selling to an international global reaching market.
