Marlow Estates operates in conjunction with the recently opened Marlow Gallery in downtown Helena. Our aim is to provide a multitude of services to Helena residents whose homes hold objects of fine art, ceramics, fine decor, and furnishings. Our mission is to steward beautiful objects forward. Whether its downsizing, assisting with the estate of a loved one, estate art planning, inventory management, art packing and moving management, we can create a custom package designed specifically for your needs.

A note from the owner, Cheri Thornton:

Hello Helena! Over the past couple of years, you have possibly seen my estate sale listings on Facebook/Instagram under the name “River and Blue Curated”. In an effort to streamline all that I can offer for Estate Art and Services, I am merging the estate business and the recently opened Marlow Gallery into one place—The Marlow—a nostalgic nod toward Helena’s once-standing and beloved Marlow Theater.

Going forward, River and Blue Curated will be solely focused on curated items that I personally find lost in the wild: found art and objects for my vintage booths at Bella Peacock, Golden Girls, Ebay store, and the Marlow Gallery.

Our team consists of some powerhouse estate professionals with polished pricing guns and mad organizing skills. None of this would be possible without Margaret and Bridget. The real heroines behind these sales.
