Janet in New Jersey


"Though I have fetishes, rugs, baskets (including one purchased on a visit to Twin Rocks trading post in 2001), jewelry and kachina dolls, obviously the major portion of the collection, and my passion, is pottery, and mostly Hopi at that.
The pics just show a portion of the 650+ pieces I currently have, but I thought you might be interested in seeing what is quite possibly one of the largest private collections of pueblo pottery in, of all places, New Jersey."

Bob in Michigan


"Here are some photos of weavings I have purchased from you. My wife and I have a dedicated rug room in our basement/family room. Although here in Michigan we generally don't worry about bright sunlight!"

Rob in Texas

Native American Art purchased from Twin Rocks Trading PostNative American Art purchased from Twin Rocks Trading Post
Hopi Kachinas, Pueblo Storytellers and Navajo Basket from Twin Rocks

"The art in the photos are THE accent pieces in our home. Each one seems (to us) to have just been made for the places where they are lovingly displayed and admired. It is a delight to my soul each and every day... reminding me of many wonderful days in the SE Utah / NE Arizona area!"

Navajo Folk Art purchased from Twin Rocks Trading Post
"In the music room is a magnificent mask made by a Pawnee gentleman, Austin Real Rider. Under the mask are a Rena Juan folk art piece as well as an early 20th Century Hopi basket."

Native American Rug purchased from Twin Rocks Trading Post
"One of the pieces of which we are most proud is the Navajo rug which hangs on the back wall of the breakfast area. The appraiser dated this rug to pre-1915 and given the wear "holes," it was obviously a "user"."
