According to Karen Keane, CEO of Skinner, Inc. “Skinner is pleased to host this event for the people of Boston and beyond; these events enable us to better educate the public on what Skinner and the auction world is all about. While it’s the million dollar auction items that make the headlines, we want people to know that Skinner handles a broad range of art and antiques and we accept items for consignment year-round in both our Boston and Marlborough galleries.” Keane continued, “These appraisal events are great fun. We just never know what will turn up.”
