Attending Townsend Auction Gallery is like stepping back in time. He has been auctioning literally from birth. (Youngest auctioneer to receive a license on record in VT, I believe.) His passion and love for the items he so carefully describes, with always a unique background of it, is unmatched. "Here we go, and around we go." "A gift to you Sir," can be heard as you walk in the hall. He especially loves selling antique furniture, and describes it to a T, right down to the elemental construction. He wants the buyer to really have a deep understanding and appreciation for what they are purchasing. He scours New England for the best estates and pieces he can muster. Oftentimes working countless hours, he continues to push through and never stops trying. Even though the prices that once were are all but gone, and trying to maintain a positive demeanor in the face of it can often be too much to bear. Kit is the type of person that is keeping the antique business breathing. Be sure to check Townshend auction out, every Saturday, and enjoy the beautiful ride that takes you there. read more
