Smitty's Eye: The Axtell Collection Online

Previews open March 1-3 in Marlborough. Book a preview appointment.

Skinner is proud to offer the collection of Richard “Smitty” Axtell, who has deep roots in Deposit, New York. Smitty’s eye for unique and unusual objects brought him renown among aficionados of American antiques, who were particularly impressed by the unmatched collection of burl and other woodenware at his home and his shop, The Rookery, just off Main Street in Deposit. Skinner invites you to explore his collection of early carved wood, tools, tin, antique glass, country furniture, paintings, and more, and see if something catches your eye too.
