Meet Peter L. Combs of plcombs

After nearly 18 years as an appraiser, auctioneer, and partner at Landry Auctions in nearby Essex, Marblehead, Massachusetts native Peter Combs decided to open his own business and gallery in downtown Gloucester.

Prior to joining Landry's, Peter was an antiques dealer and had found many great items in Gloucester's many antique and secondhand stores.

Additionally, Gloucester has been a destination for artists, fishermen, art galleries, and inventors throughout its history so it was both an ideal place and a natural choice for the headquarters of plcombs.

Plcombs does have a particular focus on antique, Asian works of art.

According to Peter, "We buy and sell in a variety of mediums and categories that include early ceramics, bronzes, bamboo, lacquers, paintings, screens and items from the China Trade era. We always have on hand a good selection of Chinese porcelain, ceramics and other Far Eastern ceramics including fine estate examples from the Sung, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties as well as Japanese Imari and Arita wares."

"We also sell on eBay under the plcombs user name (it keeps things simple). Please take a few moments and browse our inventory for celadons, monochromes, Famille Enamels, Blanc de Chine, blue and white porcelains and ceramics."
