About Brant Mackley

Brant Mackley is a second-generation art and antiques dealer from Hershey, Pennsylvania. Brant started his career as a child, collecting historic Plains Indian artifacts while accompanying his mother to antique auctions in Central Pennsylvania. As a result of his parental exposure to the buying and selling of antique and historic tribal art objects Brant established his own gallery in 1996. 

Today, Brant Mackley Gallery is based in historic Santa Fe, New Mexico. Brant is available for private showing of exceptional antique American Indian and World tribal art by appointment. In addition, the gallery offers collection appraisals, conservation consultation, curatorial guidance, and the purchasing of single objects or entire collections of North America Indian, Oceanic, Asian, and African art.  You can also visit the gallery at: 1405 Paseo de Peralta, Santa Fe, 87501 during business hours Tuesday - Saturday.

In addition to curatorial work, in 2009 Mackley’s article on “Navajo Pictorial Textiles” was published in the renowned Hali textile magazine, London. In the July 2010 edition of The Magazine Antiques, Brant was featured in the piece, “Young Dealers on the Move”. Among his other accomplishments, for six years Brant sat on the Board of Governors for ATADA (Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association) where he also served two full terms as the vice president.
