Big sale — Wellesley Historical Society unloading oodles of blue-blood, old-money household goods

November 15, 2017 by Deborah Brown

Get it while it lasts —  all at 25 % off — at the Wellesley Historical Society’s Tollhouse Shop at 219 Washington St. on Saturday, November 18, 10am – 1pm.  The store is bursting at the seams with a huge selection of fine linens for your holiday table, silver, crystal glassware, full sets of china and serving pieces, glass paperweights, Asian porcelain, small accent tables , lamps, mirrors, framed art, and more.

Lots of this stuff comes directly to the Tollhouse Shop when the good people of Wellesley decide to downside and are faced with a conundrum about their stuff — too good to bring to the RDF’s Reusables area, can’t bring it ALL with them to Naples, too much of a pain to sell. What to do? Donate it to the Tollhouse Shop, of course.

You will find beautiful pieces from Lenox, Sevres, Waterford, Royal Doulton, Baccarat, Reed & Barton, Coalport, Limoges and the list goes on. All proceeds from sales at the Tollhouse Shop go towards supporting the programs offered to the public by the Wellesley Historical Society and preservation of the extensive archives and collections.  Additional parking at the Wellesley Community Center and adjacent Wellesley Hills Congregational Church.

Yup, it’s pretty much going to be the preppiest yard sale ever.
