Willis R. Henry, 1944-2024
Dear friends –
It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Willis Henry. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on September 8, 2024, just two days after his 80th birthday.
Will was one of the foremost experts on Shaker furniture in the world, but was also known for his detailed knowledge in many other areas of antiques. In his nearly 50 year career as an auctioneer, Will sold many important collections and unique historical items.
Thank you to all of our consignors and customers over the years for all of your support, and most recently for the very kind words we have received in remembrance of Will.
A reception in Will’s honor will be held on Saturday, September 21st from 11am to 1pm, followed by a Celebration of Life with remembrances at 1pm at MacDonald Funeral Home in Marshfield, MA.
If you would like to share your memories or photos of Will, we welcome you to send them by email to [email protected].
In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to organizations that have supported Will’s loved ones, including Perkins School for the Blind, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, or a charity of your choice.
Note: During this time, regular business operations will be on pause until further notice.
