Review from D R.
Belmont, MA
10/21/2010
We have found some beautiful (and well-priced) items at Boston Consignment, including a unique art deco vanity that fit our space and decor perfectly. They have frequent turnover, so we tour the store on a regular basis. The proprietors are helpful and friendly--definitely worth a look if you're furniture hunting.

Review from Smitty P.

Seriously overpriced items of moderate to collectible quality. I would imagine that most consignors overpaid originally and are expecting unrealistic values for non-antique, worn objects.
There are much better options for the savvy shopper. Once again proving how WBUR underwriters can afford to underwrite .......and that's not by providing value to their customers.Comment from Sheila Ryan R. of Boston Consignment 8/4/2010

Review from Margaret H.
Wellesley, MA

I would not do business with these people. I will tell everyone I know to avoid this consignment shop. This is the type of business that is built on relationships. Their word is no good. I went in and found a Brown Jordan outdoor patio chair that I liked and said I was interested the set. I was told the rest of the set would come in the next day for me to see it. I was told that it would be held for me. I went in the next day and other pieces were there, but not the table. The owner said she would call me when the table came in. The next day the table arrived and I said I wouild come by that evening after work. Two hours later I left work and was on my way when I listened to a voicemail for me saying they sold it to someone else who just walked in the door. I had come in the 2 previous days to see the pieces and was just waiting to see the table. It was not right to sell it to someone who just randomly walked in the door when it was on hold for me and they knew I was coming in that same day. This is not the type of place you want to do business with either buying or consigning your items.

History
Established in 2001
BUY. CONSIGN. ENJOY. Save on expense, splurge on quality. "High end consignment?" Sure, it exists. It's here at Boston Consignment. The pieces were loved in a Park Avenue apartment, a Wellesley tudor, a Greenwich mega-home or a grandmother's memory-drenched attic.Baker, Kittinger and Eldred Wheeler, D.R. Dimes, Ficks Reed, as well as 18th century European farm tables...and an Ilana Goor signed table. Gently pre-owned home furnishings or consigned antiques, we have the finest in well treated high quality pieces.
On the edges of Wellesley, Weston, Needham and Newton, Boston Consignment is a luxury consignment shop with fine art, oriental carpets, sterling and grandfather clocks from neighboring estates and the upscale beyond. Oils discovered in Grandmother's attic can become your heirloom treasures. Mid-Century Modern, art deco, formal French and 19th century American period pieces decorate the airy showroom. Boston Consignment feels like family but reflects sophistication.
Meet the Business Owner: Real and Sheila R.
Owners Real and Sheila Roy offer a new angle on the recycling and rebirth of fine furnishings. As a 30 veteran entrepreneur, and member of the distinguished Young Presidents Organization, Roy spent a career seeking out and buying struggling and unpolished companies. Recognizing their intrinsic value, he would refine and fine tune them, readying them for sale. "And there is great satisfaction in seeing a smiling customer hugging their treasure and heading home with it. Everyone wins. Consignor and customer too."
Where do these treasures come from? With more than 500 consignors from Beacon Hill, Park Avenue, Newport, Fairfield, Westport, Farmington and Greenwich who are downsizing, redecorating and just tired of holding on to pieces, it is a never-ending stream.
Previewing and evaluating quality and condition are essential steps in gathering suitable pieces. Dealers and homeowners on a sensitive budget have a field day with the vast selection and variety.
