A Little About Us

The Sporting Gallery, almost half a century old, is one of the oldest sporting, wildlife and animal oriented art galleries in the U.S.

Although it's been tempting to change course a few times over the years we always come back to our passion - fine art that represents what's important to us and our way of life: horses, wildlife, our pets and the appreciation of the beautiful landscapes that surround us.

We've found that matching this passion with our business makes things a lot easier because we truly are excited about the art we sell. Nothing makes us happier than to have our clients feel the same way.

We Represent Top Notch Contemporary Painters

Throughout our 48 year history we have forged strong relationships with several of the best painters representing our wonderful genre. We are privileged to say that we have represented Valerie Hinz and Peter Sculthorpe for over 20 years. Recently we added Linda Volrath to our contemporary artist roster. She specializes in steeplechase and fox hunting paintings.

Antiques & Collectibles

In addition to fine art, the gallery also displays unique and unusual sporting and animal related collectibles including fine porcelain, glassware, antique Austrian bronzes, silver, books and jewelry. Our inventory is constantly changing as we add new inventory monthly.

Are You Looking to Sell Your Art or Have It Appraised?

If you are looking for a private and disgresionary vehicle to sell your art please contact us. We've handled numerous estates over the years and our staff has combined over 75 years of experience in this business. We can also offers fine art appraisals, oil painting restoration and custom picture framing.

Come Visit Us

Visitors are welcomed, without pressure, and are encouraged to seek answers to questions about works on view, artists represented, and art in general. The staff is knowledgeable and collector-friendly.

The gallery is located in the historic Duffy House (built circa 1820) in the center of Middleburg, Virginia. You’ll discover that this uniquely beautiful building (and town) provides a perfect setting for the display of fine paintings and sculpture. Often described as comfortable and inviting, most rooms have a separate fireplace with antique mantle, hardwood floor and heart of pine paneling.

We look forward to meeting you.

Cheers

Liz & Greg Dubenitz
