Auction Highlights | Single-owner Collection of Rare Books at Skinner

A Mystic Collection, featured illuminated Medieval manuscripts, a strong group of rubricated incunabula in contemporary bindings, important high spots for Bible collectors, illustrated books, and unusual bindings. Even collectors of English books, 18th-century Italian views, classics, and heraldry had many exceptional offerings from which choose. Collectors, dealers, and institutions from around the world participated in the 230-lot sale, which hammered above the high estimate with a 98.3% sell-through rate.

If you have fine rare books, whether an extensive collection or just a few choice volumes, and you would like to work with Skinner on a sale, we would be happy to help. November’s auction is currently under construction, and we look forward to adding your consignment as we create another compelling sale.
