It is easy to focus solely on data, markets, and technology, but it is essential to keep in mind the people, the objects, and the stories at the heart of our business.
In 1962, our then 22-year old founder, Bill Doyle, infused this business with energy, excitement, and entrepreneurial spirit that is still palpable today. He believed, as we do, in buying what you love, in the power of goodwill, and that auctions are fun! His joy – “like a kid in a candy store” – is still present in the thrill of discovery, the pursuit of value, and our passionate team. We truly love what we do, which shines through in our strong results.
This season, we continue to grow and expand our reach by offering simultaneous auctions in Charleston, Boston, and New York, items available for private sale in our galleries and via Instagram, and – of course – our incredible array of auctions.
Building on the online presence established by our Chairman Kathy Doyle nearly thirty years ago, we are committed to providing an omnichannel experience that feels uniquely DOYLE, whether we meet you in your home, in one of our galleries, or online.
We continue to build our future for generations to come upon the foundation of our past – by upholding our core values of integrity, expertise, and service, alongside authenticity and trust. We know that at the heart of everything we do are people – our team and our clients.
As always, we are here for you at every stage of your collecting journey, and we look forward to meeting you wherever that may take you. We are grateful to have you as part of the DOYLE family.
