Stair Galleries

Founded by Colin Stair, a fourth-generation furniture specialist, we have a team of specialists with over 150 years of combined experience, who provide a high level of expertise and exemplary client service. Primarily servicing the New York City metro area and tri-state region, we hold live auctions at our gallery in Hudson, NY, twice a month. As one of the first proponents of online auction technology, we've balanced the expectations of a modern marketplace with the charm of a traditional auction house.

Colin Stair is Founder and President of Stair. A fourth-generation furniture specialist, Colin worked for Sotheby's in New York and England. He settled in New York and ran Sotheby's Restoration before opening Stair in 2001. An innovator and creative business strategist, Colin was an early proponent of online auction technology and has successfully balanced the expectations of a modern marketplace with the charm of a traditional auction house.
