Cape Ann Auction
Local knowledge. A long view. No theatre.
Cape Ann Auction is a family-run Gloucester business built around the practical work of valuing, selling and moving meaningful things.
The person behind the gavel
Walt Kolenda has been in the trade since 1979.
After years of buying, selling, appraising and running auctions across New England, Walt founded Cape Ann Auction in Gloucester in 2010. He is joined by a family team that knows the work is never just about objects.
That experience runs from fine art and jewellery to books, historic documents, Americana, coins, maritime material and the useful things that make up an everyday estate.
