Since 1989, New England Art Exchange has sold period paintings and fine prints.We focus on works of American, European and Asian artists from the 18th century to the 1950’s. We buy and sell original works and represent consignors from around the world. Our gallery is located in Depot Square in downtown Peterborough New Hampshire.  With the advent of the railroad and the building of a railroad station, what is now known as Depot Square in the 1860’s quickly became a beehive of manufacturing activity producing items as diverse as pianos and carriages. The tradition of owner operated shops, which was established early on, remains today.
