Biography
Matthew Quinn got his start in the antiques business growing up in the Washington DC neighborhoods scouring estate sales and antique stores with his parents. He formally joined the family business, Quinn’s Auction Galleries, in early 2001 after spending a few years on the west coast in marketing and public relations. He and his brother David have grown Quinn’s into one of our nation’s capital's finest auction houses serving the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. In 2004, Matthew was instrumental in the acquisition of rare book, map, print, and autograph auction company Waverly Auctions, which was brought under Quinn’s umbrella and continues to thrive today.
Matthew has been an appraiser on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW since 2010, working on the Pottery & Porcelain and Decorative Arts tables.
When not playing with antiques, Matthew enjoys fine cuisine and admits to a fondness for dining at some of DC’s premier restaurants.
