Harlowe-Powell Auction Gallery

Biography

The Harlowe name has been synonymous with auctions in central Virginia since 1968. In 1997, Bill Harlowe combined his considerable experience with the knowledge, energy and integrity of Pat Powell to form Harlowe-Powell Auction Ltd. The firm has grown to be a major regional auction house, conducting a wide variety of auctions from its 15,000 sq. ft. building located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Norman Dill became a partner in Harlowe-Powell Auction when he bought Bill Harlowe’s share of the company in 2005.

Located off Rt. 29, we are easily accessible from Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia. We celebrate our regional heritage and often offer University of Virginia, Jeffersonian, and other historic collectibles and ephemera. Our auctions appeal not only to Virginians but buyers and consignors located all over the world. We have accepted consignments from Florida, California, New York, and Canada just to name a few; buyers routinely contact us from Europe and Asia.

Harlowe-Powell has a strong local presence in Charlottesville. We pride ourselves on providing friendly customer service and serving a loyal local clientele, as well as gaining national and international recognition.
