Great to work with!
CRN was very easy to work with. They held on to the item until I could be in Boston for pickup. Easy communication, happy to accommodate me, and that allowed me to save on shipping. Happy to add this great piece of history to my collection!

A consistently great, classic auction house
After years in business, Carl Nordblom has a well-earned reputation with both buyers and sellers as he garners the most interesting consignments-each time I visit I marvel at the collection he presents. The team is small, knowledgeable, and more like a small family than a staff. Always a pleasure to deal with them.

Condition Report
The condition report provided for an antique rug is not detailed enough and misleading. Described as very good overall condition, however upon receipt the rug shows very little pile. Evenly worn across the entire rug with wear down to the knot collars and no soft pile to speak of. The side selvedge was also repaired with new wrapping and not described. Requests for more information before the auction did not provide any further useful information. Shouldn't have made a decision to place bids without having an accurate condition report.

Thank you, Dennis. We have been doing this since 1976 and have been disheartened since the internet has taken away the personal aspect of the auction business.

Thank you, Brad. The auction business is not what it used to be. Now that it's gone global with the internet and telephone, it hard to maintain a personal relationship with clients. We so appreciate your personal response to our efforts.

ANOTHER GREAT BUYING EXPERIENCE
I have made several purchases with CRN Auctions in the past few years for large and small items and they are wonderful to work with and they have the best quality items in the New England. I wish they took credit cards but they are patient when they know checks have to be mailed:)

Very disappointed in item purchased. It was in such bad condition I am surprised they accepted it.
Poor quality item Very bad condition lots of damage-VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PAINTING

CRN Auctions, Inc.Jun 19, 2021
I am always sorry to hear of a disappointed buyer. This painting of little value was part of the contents of the historical home we were commissioned to sell. In the photo one could see that it was stressed. Estimated at $300-500, it realized $175. When items cannot be viewed in person, we are more than happy to give a detailed condition report via telephone or email.
