About Santa Fe

About Morning Star Gallery
The founding principle of the gallery was to cohesively apply the tenets of connoisseurship across the diversity of material available from Native North America--bead and quillwork from the Plains; pottery, textiles, jewelry and Katsinas from the Southwest; baskets from the Great Basin and California; and wooden sculpture from the Northeast and Northwest Coast

In 2002, Nedra Matteucci Galleries acquired Morning Star Gallery as a natural compliment to their important American paintings and sculpture. Over the last few years we have expanded our areas of expertise and product line to include antique New Mexican furniture and devotional art. We are also proud to now represent the best Native American artists working today. These contemporary works are featured in the Modern Masters and New Collector galleries.

Our staff is happy to help and advise collectors on all aspects of acquiring, installing, conserving and appraising of material. As members of the Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association (ATADA), our staff upholds the highest standards of customer service. We sincerely hope you find this website to be useful and that it may pique your interests further in Native American art. We invite you to contact us if we may be of any assistance.
