Our Fine and Decorative Arts auctions include our highest value items. These auctions generally include furniture (especially mid-century modern), china, high-end sterling, paintings and other flat art, Asian art (for which we also hold specialty sales), and glass art. We also include items that would appeal to our international buyers, as these are the sales to which they pay the most attention.

Typically one to two specialty auctions are offered each month. These auctions cater to collectors of specific items, who will pay top dollar. Our specialty sales include: Stamps & Coins, Jewelry & Watches, Dolls, Toys & Trains, Pottery & Porcelain, Military & Firearms, Japanese Art, Political Memorabilia and more. We love building new sales around your collections.

Quinn’s Books, Prints and Maps division specializes in fine & rare books, maps, autographs & manuscripts & other ephemera.

Lower value and household items are sold through our weekly auctions, which bring 150,000+ registered bidders in the greater capital area. Our partner Rasmus, the largest commercial auctioneer in the region, has been exclusively online for close to 20 years. Throughout our two decades of partnership we have optimized the online auction buying experience and maximized digital outreach.

Quinn’s Auction Galleries offers residential clean out services as needed by our auction, estate sale, and real estate clients. These services include the coordination of donation and trash removal.
