The Cobbs

Biography

The Cobbs Auctioneers is a professional family-owned and operated auction house located in the historic Mill building known as Noone Falls Mill, in the quaint New England town of Peterborough NH. One of our primary missions is to provide a transparent and enjoyable auction experience for both buyers and sellers. We take extra measures to both expose our consignors offerings to an international market and give our buyer customers the confidence to participate and make purchases, in an auction setting. We share a love of art, culture and history with our customers and know that honesty and disclosure are crucial elements for successful transactions at auction. We strive to instill and promote a sense of stewardship and passion for art, antiques and cultural objects. Like many of our customers we share a belief that objects have meaning and value above and beyond their investment, but we do not take that investment for granted.

We specialize in 19th century or earlier Americana and Fine Art though our auctions cover a wide range of approximately 50 major collecting categories. We are fully licensed and bonded as an Auctioneer in the state of New Hampshire and on a cooperative basis in other states. One of the benefits of operating in NH is that the state does not have a sales tax which translates to more money for our consigners and less expense for our buyers. We are partnered with Artfact, Invaluable, Auctionzip and Live Auctioneers for the convenience of our customers who prefer to bid online.

Our website www.thecobbs.com hosts high resolution images of all the lots in our catalogs for the convenience of bidders who can not preview in person.
