I have been buying American antiques at Northeast Auctions for 25 years.There are so many things…read morethat I like about it, as a business, that I must corall my thoughts.But as I reflect, I realize that it pretty much all comes down to Ronnie Bourgeault, who is an extremely knowledgeable, energetic, verbose, serious, sometimes grumpy, generous, philanthropic and good hearted man. He is highly respected in the field for being one of/the most antiques-knowledgeable auctioneers, and is well known by and connected to all the major collectors, dealers and museums who have encountered him in the ~ 45 years he has been in the antiques business. Because of his national reputation, he is chosen to sell major collections from CA to NY., so as a buyer, I don't have to travel far to see and examine some of the best material out there. Bourgeault's headquarters is a landmark for 'downtown' Portsmouth, an elegant early 19th c. 3 story brick Federal mansion that is a cornerstone for this uniquely well preserved historic shipping port. Throughout his many years in Portsmouth, he has consciously and quietly purchased and restored a number of early buildings with shaky futures. That means alot to me. He is also an active donor and board member for both local and regional museums and historic organizations of national importance. Bourgeault and his loyal staff run a very smooth professional operation. His auctions are always well attended ; the August one that kicks off N.H.Antiques Week is often where you will see the premier collections being sold. Americana is Bourgeault's focus but his Asian sales are also highly regarded. Both printed and web catalogues are well organized , written, and photographed. My one warning is that if you are new to the auction world, you might want to start by attending other auctions that cater more to newbies by being a bit more user-friendly. In keeping with his 'no nonsense' approach, Bourgeault is probably the fastest auctioneer in New England (at least), often selling 100 lots per hour (where other auctioneers might sell 60-80 lots per hour.) That speed alone takes some getting used to ; there's little room for hesitation, or you may easily be left in the dust! The world of antiques and auctions is a fascinating one and bringing history into your life can be fun, educational and richly rewarding. If and when you decide to take on that goal, Northeast Auctions is a top notch business to work with.

Mostly, it was a huge relief to have this enormous task be a little less stressful than it could have been. We were in good hands from start to finish! Thank you Central Mass Auctions!!! I would HIGHLY recommend!

I ask questions through their website, via email, through the various auction sites they use and I rarely get a response - when I do, I typically make a purchase. They dropped the ball on my last question I had asked, as depending on what the answer was, it was going to be a six figure purchase - but because of no response, I passed.... There is something coming up to auction that will be several thousand $s - I know they have it, but can't get them to tell me when it is going to come up. A shame they treat their customer like this.

Stuff piled high on plywood; in corners, on pallets. Quite messy and disorganized. Overpriced. Yes some deals can be found but why rummage through a pile of overpriced stuff? I just shake my head to see the prices- esp the furniture which most of it has damage. Some interesting furniture designs but who wants 1-2 mismatched chairs with dings and chips? I will still go from time to time but It wont be on my fun places to stop to find a deal kind of place.

We drove about 40-50 minute north of Boston, right over the NH border and it was not worth it. This place is an unorganized warehouse of damaged goods. Don't get me wrong I love me some Job Lot style shopping but this place was really dusty and the stuff they were selling was strewn about, stacked up on each other and mostly damaged. We were in the store no more than 5 minutes and I had allergies for the rest of the day. I certainly would't buy something here to bring back to my house. On a brighter note, the staff did greet us on the way in and on the way out so that is a plus.
