About: plcombs Dealers of Chinese Antiques
Chinese Porcelain and Antique Appraisers, Dealers and Brokers
We are a family owned and run business quite happily located in one of the prettiest coastal towns in the entire United States. We are not an antiques shop, our primary focus is handling large and small collections of Chinese and Asian antiques and works of art created in all mediums. Our offices are located in the center of Gloucester in a former 19th C. bank we now call our business’s home. When you call us, you’ll speak immediately with (me) Peter Combs, my wife Francesca or my eldest son Bradford.
We have extensive experience in authenticating-dating and valuing Asian works of art in all categories. Including Export Porcelain as well as ceramics, from the Neolithic, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasty’s, including Imperial examples. This is in addition to our strong working experiences with silks, jades, furniture, scholar’s objects as well as scrolls and other works of art.
Appraisals of Chinese and Asian Art and Antiques
For decades we've prepared appraisals for estate settlement, insurance and charitable giving. Many have also been done to aide executors in making even distributions among heirs while allocating a portion for sale to add needed liquidity to the estate. In situations where some items need to be sold, we can advise where and what to sell , as well as negotiate terms on behalf of the estate.
Consignments
We gladly accept consignment of entire collections or just a few items and arrange for their sale on your behalf. To learn more click here
