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.

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

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.

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.

Our online estate auctions team conducts quality assessments to help maximize the potential value of your estate. These sales are conducted in-home and offer full clean out and organizational services as required. *Service currently available only in the Washington, DC metro market.

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. Residential cleaning services are conducted through our moving service, for the same rates plus any municipality charges for trash disposal.
