I have been a customer of David Skinner for over 7 years. The quality of the antiques are beyond compare and each time I needed something unique , they would somehow locate exactly what I needed. Trust and respect are the most important aspect in a relationship with any antique or art dealer. David and Bob have always been the most competent trustworthy dealers (really artists) I have ever been associated with and I recommend them to everyone. They are first and foremost just good people!
