Founded in 1978 by Doug and Sandy Davies, Davies Auctions quickly became a trusted name in the world of antiques, known for integrity, expertise, and a passion for preserving history. Together, Doug and Sandy built a business rooted in family values and a deep respect for the collectors, dealers, and communities they served. Since Sandy’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2010, Doug has continued to honor their shared vision while managing the business with unwavering dedication.
Now, as Doug steps into retirement, we are proud to announce that the company will move forward as Synesael Davies Auctions, under the leadership of longtime auctioneer Kenny Synesael.
Kenny, along with his wife Phyllis, is honored to carry the torch and continue the tradition established by Doug and Sandy. With years of experience in the auction industry and a shared appreciation for Americana and antiques, Kenny and Phyllis look forward to maintaining the high standards in the Americana auction community. Kenny and Phyllis look forward to bringing exceptional antique collections to market serving collectors and consignors with the same passion and professionalism that have been the hallmark of Davies Auctions.
