keno eye

At home with twin brothers Leigh (left) and Leslie Keno, who know a good thing when they see it—whether an antique or a designer classic. Leigh is the proprietor of Leigh Keno American Antiques in Manhattan; Leslie is senior vice president of Sotheby’s Americana department. Their appearances on PBS’s Antiques Roadshow made them famous, but the two have been honing their expertise for decades. At the tender age of 12, they noted in a joint diary that they had become “antiques dealers.”
