Founded in Ottawa in 1937, Walker’s Auctions is active in the global art market as the leading reseller of Inuit Art. Headquartered in Ottawa, auctions are also held in Toronto and previewed in Montreal. == History == Founder William Scott “Bill” Walker (1910-1987) was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1929, Walker left Scotland to apprentice with his uncle's firm, Fyfe’s Antiques in Vancouver. At Fyfe’s, Walker coordinated the sale of monthly shipments of period furniture and fine art arriving in Montreal from Great Britain. In 1937, while still employed by Fyfe’s, Waker settled in Ottawa where he founded W.S. Walker Auctioneer.〔Live Auctioneers. ("Walker's Fine Art & Estate Auctioneers" ) Web.〕 During the post-war period, Walker’s became well known as auctioneers to Ottawa's elite, including the Booth Estate Sale which included art, period furniture and wedding gifts from the marriage of Lois Booth and Count Erik of Rosenborg.〔 At that time Walker hired cabinet maker and furniture restorer Charles MacKenzie. In 1964, son Peter Walker joined as partner in the firm, W.S. Walker & Son, Auctioneers & Appraisers. A series of prominent auctions such as the Rochester and Billings Estates featured Fine Art as well as in antique furniture, fine silver, jewelry, coins, rare books and stamps.〔 Establishing price points for works by Millet, Corot, and Mauve of the Hague school and by Felix Ziem of the Barbizon school,〔 Walker's increasingly became known as auctioneers of both Canadian and European paintings.
