Our Goal
Our goal at Neil Rasmussen
Antiques and Fine Art is to offer a diverse range of quality paintings,
furniture, and decorative accessories from the 18th, 19th & 20th
Centuries, as well as items from the American West. We search
out items that, because of style, originality, quality of construction,
rarity, beauty, and historical importance, are most desirable. You can
be assured of the authenticity of our fine merchandise as we deal in
only original pieces. Over 30 years experience, educated taste, wide
range of interest, and a "good eye" has provided maximum buying
potential for the serious and discriminating collector, as well as those
just venturing into the world of antiques. Mr. Rasmussen has always
felt that an investment in an antique is a visual investment in your
future that will yield years of visual dividends.
About Neil Rasmussen
Neil Rasmussen has
been in the antiques and fine arts business since 1968, beginning with
an interest in vintage automobiles. At the age of twenty-two he
purchased approximately 200 vintage autos in Montana, (sounds impressive!
wasn't really. many were basket cases, many drivable, all were American,
and it was a great adventure!!) and transported them back to the San
Francisco Bay Area. He then formed his first company, called Antiquity
Autos, and from there branched out to buying and selling a fascinating
eclectic variety of quality fine art and antiques. In 34 years of business
Mr. Rasmussen has been featured in many newspapers and trade publications,
participated on KGO San Francisco radio programs appraising antiques
on behalf of the Hillsborough Antique Show, and was featured on the
San Francisco TV morning program AM San Francisco, exhibiting his collections
on behalf of the San Mateo Collectors Revival. He and his wife,
Jan, have owned several antique stores and malls in the San Francisco
Bay Area, and participate in major antique shows throughout the country.
They are located about 30 miles south of San Francisco, near Stanford
University.
