The Plymouth Exchange consign or is it best to sell outright?" is just part of the process. His venue of choice consignments is an alternative to estate sales and auction houses where opportunistic buyers and price without control is abound. A soup to nuts operation, The Plymouth Exchange will arrive and do all the work for the seller inclusive of retrieval, clean up, presentation and ultimately, selling to a very lucky buyer. From entire contents of a home to the singularly sensational token, trinket, thingamabob, doodad, bauble or gewgaw, the crew will find a new home for the worthy bit. From high-end consignment to trips to the dump, Peter guides and counsels with gentility based upon decades of building connections, history and experience. If you've an original Picasso or a signed first edition of a Samuel Clemens, some family jewels or even your Uncle Joe's Indian Motorcycle, Peter Smith's interest is piqued. You will not find better hands, or a superior venue, ready to manage and maximize your objects of interest. While enmeshed for decades in the thrill of all things antique (having been voted "Best Antique Store" by Cape Cod Life Magazine 14 years running,) Peter realized there was as much a market for what he was seeing in the unconventional as there was in the antique market. What exists at The Plymouth Exchange is an inexhaustible search and discovery mission for objects without boundaries. That includes mid-century furniture, art deco, nostalgic pieces and items on the cutting edge. Maintaining the same standard of excellence found at Sandwich Antiques, Peter sets forth options for the buyer who has long thought outside the box and has no fear of the distinctly different and extraordinarily uncommon. If you've got a peculiarity, Peter wants to sell it for you. The one-of-a-kind is what he's after and the one-of-a-kind is what he delivers. The recipe for the success of the business can be pared down to the existence of a five star cast of staffers, each equipped with their own penchant for all things artistic and thought provoking. Recognizing that sometimes an object's purpose is simply to be a conversation starter, their minds and eyes are open to all possibilities. Beyond the material, the intriguing and engaging people they stumble across while searching out inventory adds to the overall experience of buyer and sellers at The Plymouth Exchange. One would imagine that the owner of an 18th-Century French grandfather clock in its original case (and fully operational, of course) has a ripping yarn to weave. Without sacrificing standards of craftsmanship, much like Sandwich Antiques, The Plymouth Exchange crashes through the glass ceiling of standard repertoire. Head to Sandwich if your taste and collection truly defines the antiquated; if vintage with a twist and a heaping dose of taste is more your speed The Plymouth Exchange at 44 Main Street in Plymouth is for you. Like time, once a piece is gone it belongs to the past so beat feet down Route 3 and pick something up that says you abhor the mundane, you are not averse to the unconventional and you, like Peter and Judy Smith, have a breadth of open mindedness. So whether a traffic light from the 60's or a pristine Brunswick pool table, Peter Smith, a formidable man with an eye for the uncanny and classy, delivers.
