About Marion Antique Auctions

Marion Antique Auctions traces its roots back to the old coastal town of Marion, Massachusetts, where in 2010, two seasoned veterans of the antique industry, Frank McNamee of Marion Antiques and C. David Glynn of Turkey Creek Auctions, joined forces to establish an auction house.

Frank and David’s journey began long before the inception of Marion Antique Auctions. Having been close friends since their teenage years, they shared a passion for antiques that led them into the industry at a young age. With over five decades of experience each, their combined expertise formed the cornerstone of the company’s ethos – a commitment to excellence forged through a lifetime of experience.

From its inception, Marion Antique Auctions set itself apart as a premier New England auction house, specializing in the sale of prestigious estates and collections. The auctions, held with great care, became highly anticipated events in the auction world, attracting collectors, enthusiasts, and connoisseurs alike.

A hallmark of Marion Antique Auctions has been the quality and freshness of its offerings. With about three high-quality sales conducted each year, the company ensured that all items brought to the auction block were not only of great caliber but also new to the market. This commitment to presenting items that were largely unreserved added an air of excitement and authenticity to each auction event.

Over the years, Marion Antique Auctions has earned a sterling reputation among its clientele. Known for its transparency, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction, the company became synonymous with trust and reliability in the auction sphere.

In 2021, Marion Antique Auctions embarked on an exciting new chapter in its history. Expanding into the historic Marconi Building in Marion, a sprawling 16,000 square foot space steeped in heritage, the company signaled its growth and ambition. Alongside this expansion came the introduction of Nick Taradash as a Junior Partner, further enriching the team with fresh perspectives and expertise.

As Marion Antique Auctions continues to flourish, it remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Frank McNamee and C. David Glynn. Their commitment to excellence, coupled with a deep-seated passion for fine and decorative arts, has solidified Marion Antique Auctions’ position as a model of quality and integrity in the world of auctioneering.
