History

Established in 1996.

This month, November 2015 we are celebrating 9 years at Consignment Gallery at 56 and nowhave over 11,000 consignors. Everyday we have new customers that walk in and say «wow»! We never take for granted how special that feels. We work extremely hard every day making our store homey, clean, fun and a pleasant place to shop meet friends or just browse.

My husband & I have been in the antiques business for over 25 years. We decided that it would be nice to be closer to home & open the type of store that we would be happy visiting. We found this location & fell in love with it. We renovated in 4 stages in the first 5+ years. We keep it homey, clean & neat. The setting is in an old mill building complete with a lovely court yard. It’s easy to get to via routes I-​190 or I-​495.

We work hard and hope that you will enjoy our store. We want to thank our fabulous consingors for making this possible. We hope you enjoy your visit!

Come in and say hi!

I love my job! We receive truck loads of home furnishings and decorative items weekly. After sorting, reviewing, data entry, pricing, tagging, it’s time to set the store. We re-​arrange daily. My favorite is the staging. Giving a homey touch to each setting means so much to me. I was raised hunting for «goods» It wasn’t called a bargain then, it was knowing where to search for good used items or buying bulk. My mother & her mother would take us everywhere! We’d get home and redo the house with our new finds. Later she opened a small neighborhood antique shop combo country store and the rest is history. Thanks mom!

My dad’s mother taught me the finer arts of setting tables, organizing and of course polishing silver. Everytime I finish I smile and know how proud they must be.

Wow! What a great find (thank you, Unilocal!). Reasonable prices on unique pieces. Looking forward to a return visit.

Sterling, MA
So we bought and renovated our last house and when our teenager moved out, we thought «Gee, what a great time to buy an even larger house to renovate!». Doh.
Fast forward, with the renovations coming to an end, we are trying to furnish the house, but without going to a big-​box, commercial furniture store and buying one of the prepackaged «sets» of anything. (We don’t want our house to look like a Jordan’s Furniture ad, not that there is anything wrong with that, but we prefer a bit more organic look — you know, like the house is lived in!).
We’ve been all over NE with limited luck. Estate sales, hit or miss. Antique stores are either junk or way overpriced questionable quality antiques. We found this place by accident. Every time we visit, we end up buying something. Couches. Wing chairs. Gaming table. Desk for my office. Chairs, etc., etc. We’ve honestly not found one store that we can keep going back to and find something, every, single, time.
Things to be aware of:
1. There is a delivery charge. I don’t think they will waive it, irrespective of what you spent — although, I never asked if they would — maybe they will?
2. They don’t want to hold on to your purchase any longer than they have to — a bit inconvenient if you don’t have a way to get it home *right now* but they need the floorspace to make money. Bring your SUV or your son-​in-​law and his truck.
3. As with any store, beware of those items that are «antiqued» but aren’t really antique.
4. There is a rewards program, so you earn «points» to apply to a new purchase.
5. If you ask, they will often give you the discounted price —- items drop in price every few weeks.
6. The guy we have bought most of our stuff from still doesn’t remember us. It’s a game each time we go!
Go see the store, if nothing there is a great restaurant around the corner and it’s a scenic drive.
As soon as my Amex stops smoking I am sure the wife will want to make another trip to see what else we need!

Love this place! I have gone a few times and I purchased a bureau from them. They let me have it at the lower price 5 days early from the date they were supposed to lower the price! They have great quality furniture! Great Customer service.
They have an outdoor area where they sell patio furniture and outdoor storage. Two massive rooms filled with different couches, rugs, accent furniture and tables… Coffee tables and dining room furniture… bed sets, bathroom sinks silverware, jewelry… EVERYTHING!!!
They have price tags that start at one price and the price gets lower the longer it sits! I am pretty sure they deliver too! Love this place for furniture!

Be VERY careful here. I consigned some items and at the end of the consignment period went back to get the items not sold. They seemed really annoyed that I was picking up my items that had not been sold. They told me most people just abandon them (forget, are too old to remember, or to busy). So I searched for my things, found most, but not a pair of sterling silver candle sticks, which they said must have been stolen. I suggested that perhaps they forgot to credit me when sold, they scoffed. Said they would get back to me but never did. These folks are deceitful IMHO. I can see now that they make a profit on your items after 90 days, when you fail to come and retrieve them. I won’t consign here again. Think about using ebay to sell, you get to actually keep 90% of the sale price. This place gives you something like 50%. Both antique dealers and consignment shops depend on folks forgetting their items, not following up, etc. They are not an honest bunch. No wonder ebay is doing so much better than your local antique shop.

I sold items at this shop once with no problem, and decided to try them again when we sold our home. My own experience tells me that this shop is better at handling a few pieces rather than a large collection of items. I would advise consignors to get EVERYTHING in writing, especially if selling big-​ticket items, as their contract agreement is very vague. They deducted a fee from my earnings ($ 50) for disposal of boxes without telling me. On another occasion they charged me $ 75 because someone helping me put some broken down boxes in their compactor. They deducted more for their pickup fee than they originally quoted. They would not provide me with a list of the prices that my items sold for until I was forced to have the BBB intervene. They discounted my items excessively, without my knowledge or permission, before the end of my 90 day consignment period. I am well aware of the consignment process, however, if I’d known that they were going to discount my Christmas collectibles 80% I never would have brought my things there to sell.

This place is all manner of awesome! Great selection in uniformly good to great condition, great, uncluttered presentation, friendly staff, AND very competitive prices. Lots of furniture, lots of other stuff.

Three stars means «a ok» but I’d say this place is just ok. It is spacious, and things are laid out nicely but not really a ton of stuff. Which is a pro and con. There was nothing in bad shape or crappy, but I thought the selection was kind of ho hum. You won’t find much there that is particularly unique. It’s more like 10 year old, well maintained mid-​range furniture. I was hoping for more antiques or one of a kind pieces. There were a couple nice 1920’s cabinets I saw, and one cool mid century Bassett hutch, but that was it. Overall I thought the prices were a little on the high end. I would not go back unless I was in the area.

Finally found our perfect Kitchen table here. It was only a matter of time and patience. Of course, we found it here! Mind you, we have gone ALL OVER to find what we wanted, and found nothing that suited.
Perfect size, and it matches both our kitchen floor in style, and our chairs in color, too. Reclaimed wood used, too. Fantastic price. We couldn’t be happier, either.
Anyone want our old oak table? It’s a nice table, but the wrong size and shape for our kitchen.

I used to live 400 ft away from this store and I drove by it soooo many times, always wondering what it was all about. Finally, I went in and I’m glad I did.
They have great pieces of furniture and the owners are very polite. Good prices and if you have pieces of furniture you don’t want but, could be great additions to someone else’ home, they are happy to help you sell them (for a small fee).
Definitely visit this place. I would if I wasn’t over 50 miles away!

I love this place! We have bought and sold several pieces of furniture and accessories here. The staff is very helpful in finding specific pieces for you in the store. My mom and I go here every time she comes to visit. She bought several smaller items as well.

My mom uses this place all the time to sell old furniture and buy old furniture. They have a nice selection and the stuff they sell is in very good shape. Also, when my mom is done with a chair, she can take it there and get a check in the mail for something she doesn’t want anymore, anyway. This is a clean place with really good stuff! I always see something I wish I could buy if only I had the room for it in my small apartment

If my house wasn’t already overstuffed with furniture, I would so shop here to help fill it. They had an original Hoosier cabinet for a price that was so low, I think they might have typo’d & left off a digit!
Mostly large furniture with a wide assortment of wall hangings like paintings, prints etc. A couple of cases with jewelry and a small selection of glassware on shelving. Not a ton of smalls which is really all I can buy since my house is so fulla stuff.
I’ll reiterate the comment about the bathrooms since I had to run across the street in search of a facility before I could even *think* about shopping. But if someone mentioned they were looking for a unique furniture piece, I’d definitely tip them off to this place.

Ok, seriously? It is worth the drive! The space is fantastic — I love how the tags tell you when and how much the next mark down will be. A great variety of items: modern, vintage, antique. Faux items clearly marked, great prices. I can’t say more than other Unilocalers have! The only weirdness is the parking — you have to go through a gravel driveway to exit… which is just odd! The best part? they DELIVER! :)

My niece lives in Clinton. I commented on some cool things in her apartment & she told me that they came from the Consignment Gallery at 56. So… off I went! I love, love, love Vintage 50’s kitchen furniture & there was this entire kitchen… yes! table, chairs, cabinets, countertops… in that very cool chrome & lemon yellow color. Price was incredibly low! Too bad I live in a 3rd floor walk-​up with a tiny kitchen.

It really is as good as all the other reviews say it is. Lovely old brick building with all of the merchandise organized and displayed like a high end antique store. Lots of interesting vintage jewelry in the display cases as you enter the gallery. And the furniture and decorative items are, well, let’s just say someone has a very good eye and discriminating taste. Beautiful things in every room and all very affordably priced. A range of styles. I purchased a hollywood regency/​deco (sort of a hybrid) style mirrored console for about ¼ of what it is really worth based on my search for 2 years for something similar. Also purchased 2 convex/​fish eye style round mirrors with beautiful burled walnut surrounding them-​very large, substantial pieces and got them both for less than one should cost. And yes, the owners are willing to consider reasonable offers for the merchandise below the listed price. I have to reign myself in from returning weekly. If it were around the corner I’d be broke.

This consignment shop lives up to the reputation of its Unilocal reviews. I was amazed by the quality, prices and quantity of items. Huge, clean, attractive showrooms where the furniture is arranged by room settings, like a furniture store. More contemporary, interesting items than at similar stores.

Walking in here I wanted to live in this space. It is gorgeous inside. It’s laid out nicer than many fancy antique shops, but the prices are fantastic and they seem open to negotiations.
Since they aren’t attached to any other public businesses, it would be nice if they had a public restroom for their customers, but that’s my only gripe. It’s a shame too, ’cause I was reasy to spend but I had to GO, so I had to leave to find a fast food joint.
