Pick Up

How to Pick Up Purchases
We ask that you pick up your purchases during business hours within three business days of the auction. We are unable to transfer your items between our two galleries on request.

Items left unclaimed for more than three business days may be subject to additional storage and handling fees. See the Skinner Conditions of Sale for more details.

If a third party collects purchased items on your behalf to pack and ship, you must provide Skinner with an Authorized Release Form. This form allows us to release your property to a representative. It protects both you and us from any possible misunderstandings when it comes to delivering your purchase safely and securely.

Boston & Marlborough Auctions
Following the auction, excepting fine jewelry and wines & spirits, all items will be available for release at the Marlborough Gallery. Please use https://skinner.appointlet.com/ to schedule an appointment to pick-up auction purchases.

Boston Jewelry Auctions
All items sold at our Boston Gallery will remain in Boston. Please contact the department at jewelry@skinnerinc.com or 617-874-4313 to arrange for pick-up or shipping.

Auction Previews

Attend the Auction Preview
The auction preview is your chance to examine and handle the objects you may be interested in bidding on. Have questions to ask? Our antiques and fine art specialists are on hand at the preview, ready to help you make a sound decision by offering frank opinions about the quality, condition, provenance, rarity and value of any piece.

View the auction schedule for dates, times and locations of upcoming auctions. Auction previews typically open to the public several days in advance of an auction and appointments may be necessary. Please refer to the auction landing page for the sale specifics.

Free and Open to the Public
The auction preview is a chance to view fine art and antiques, often of museum quality, for free. Set up as a gallery show curated by our world-respected experts, the preview offers an opportunity to see and learn about one-of-a-kind objects of value that have history and personality.

Many of our specialists lead gallery walks before the auction, where they discuss the history and qualities of the very best and most unique pieces in the auction. Previews and gallery walks are always free and open to the public.

Skinner promotes public interest in art and antiques, and regularly invites scholars and experts to give lectures in conjunction with our auction previews. Jewelry artist Robert Lee Morris, landscape architect Ken Druse, and Historic Deerfield president Philip Zea have all spoken at the Skinner gallery.

Join our email list to receive invitations to Skinner previews, gallery walks, and other special events.

Bidding
If you see something that youâ€™re interested in purchasing, you donâ€™t need to attend the auction to participate. You may leave an absentee bid while at the preview, or at any time in advance of the lot being offered at auction. Ask a Skinner representative at the preview for guidance if you are interested in phone bidding.

To experience the excitement of the saleroom, return on the day of the auction to bid in person or bid live online with SkinnerLive!

Canâ€™t Attend?
If you cannot attend the preview in person, view the auction online and ask questions by email or phone. Our specialists are happy to provide specific condition reports or detailed photographs.
