purgatorie river trading company

Unbelievably diverse collection of Native American Arts encompassing jewelry, rugs, weavings, paintings, ceramics, photographs. Many pieces must be at least 50 years old and are priced exceptionally fairly; I doubt they would ever be matched anywhere else in the West. The real gem, however, is the owner, Vibeke (please forgive me if I have misspelled her name). She is truely the doyenne of the Trinidad Arts Scene and has been for years, selflessly promoting local artists and musicians as well as other local independent galleries. This is a must-stop destination for Trinidad and I hope you will allot extra time to spend with Vibeke for she is not just a fount of knowledge of Native Arts but of local history and possessing endearing charm. She is that rare personality that becomes most memorable making her pieces all the more valuable.

The highest quality Indian silver jewelry, poetry, baskets, rugs, and paintings in Colorado. And the prices are amazing, no need to go to Santa Fe and pay lots more. In addition, the owners passion for Indian crafts and artists is heartfelt and translates into indepth knowledge of every piece and artist she represents. Even if you don't purchase anything, impossible for me, visiting this store will bring history to life and give you the chance to learn about amazing Indian artisans.
