Copper, one of the main products of Arizona and the Southwest, is used in a variety of ways. We are seeing it more and more for home decor!

This is part of the new copper serveware collection now at Arlene’s Gallery. We also have tequila/ shot sets and other items. Come and change your look today!
We have been very fortunate to come across five of the Legendary West Premiere Edition sculptures, from Legends, by Christopher Pardell. These are made by Legends, known today as Starlite Originals. The pieces are the mixed media collectors items that made this company very famous in the 1980s and 1990s. Mixed media includes bronze, pewter, gold (small amounts), brass, and other metals. Legends was one of the first companies to add color to their mixed media items to bring them to life. The color is not paint, but comes from chemical reactions! All items were made in the U.S.A.
Christopher Pardell is well known for his depictions of Native American images and people.
“Triumphant” and “Red Cloud’s Coup” are pictured, but we have three others as well. Three of these five are signed by Chris. The signed pieces are “Triumphant”, “Red Cloud’s Coup”, and “Final Charge”. We also have “Pursued” and “Songs of Glory”.
All 5 of these items sold out immediately when released in 1988-1992.
These items came from a store that closed years ago, and the owner of the store no longer wanted them. We do not purchase previously sold pieces from collectors.
If you want pictures, or prices, please email us at arlenes@theriver.com, or call our Southwest Trading location at 520-457-3678.
These items rarely become available, so if you have an interest in Native American themed sculpture, these are perfect to add to your collection.
For years, Lui escoto has been making wire (and other material)sculptures in grey or silver color. Now he is expanding into a tri-color look! It is quite exciting and a fresh take on the original sculptures that he has been making for us for almost 20 years. This cowboy has so much detail. The saddle alone is fantastic. These take a long time to make, but are well worth the wait. Be among the first to get these new look sculptures! Contact us today to order of for more info!
Over the past couple of years, more Zuni artisans have gone to fetish carvings instead of jewelry. Some of this is due to increased cost of silver and other raw materials. We have seen some very different stones and animals over the years. As you see in the picture, two of our new additions are interested in the same fish! Don’t know if the otter will out swim the bear! Yesterday, we replenished our fetish selection, so now is the time to improve your collection! If you are looking for anything specific, please contact us at requests@arlenesgallery.com.
You can always call us at 520-457-3678 to order or ask questions

It seems that there are less Navajo and Hopi artisans making nice baskets these days. Therefore, we do not stock as many as we once did. However, we are fortunate to have found two very unique and colorful baskets. These designs are my favorite to come across as they are so different than what you normally see. Call us today to add these to your collection!
