Testimonials

David and Susan, New York

“It was our privilege to come across a company like Shannon’s and the fine people who work within the company. Shannon’s standards of excellence and integrity are refreshing! Shannon’s should be the example by which all others are measured. Your kind assistance, direction and expertise are unparalleled.”

“Thank you for the work you did in selling my painting…it was beautifully illustrated in the catalog, and your advice in terms of setting the estimate low proved correct in generating a lot of interest in the work. I could not have been happier with the outcome!”
