Skinner expands to New York City

BOSTON, MA — Skinner Inc., auctioneers and appraisers of objects of value, announces the opening of its regional office in New York City. Serving as a base for both long-standing and new

clients in the tri-state area, the office will provide convenient access to the full range of Skinner consignment and appraisal services, as well as the auction house’s esteemed staff of experts.

Karen Keane, CEO of Skinner Inc., observed, “Establishing a base of operations in New York was a natural step for Skinner. Given our proximity to the city and the number of clients we serve there, our specialists are already highly familiar with the market. The expansion is a means to grow this already robust infrastructure, while also widening our reach to new customers, institutions, and collectors.”

At the helm of the new office will be Skinner Vice President and Director of Fine Jewelry, Victoria Bratberg. A Graduate Gemologist with nearly 13 years of experience in the auction and antique jewelry market, including eight in New York, Bratberg brings a keen eye and a wealth of appraisal and customer relations experience to her role. She will be supported by Skinner’s diverse roster of experts across all specialty areas.

A fully operational extension of Skinner’s Boston gallery, the new branch provides New Yorkers and

the greater metropolitan area access to all consignment and appraisal services for individual pieces and collections. The New York City branch is located in Midtown Manhattan, at 415 Madison Avenue. Arrange an auction evaluation in advance or visit during open office hours, every Tuesday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
