Simpson Galleries is pleased to present this auction of Fine Art & Antiques on May 21, 2022. The auction is sure to be one of our best this year with selections of popular artworks, important maps, desirable decorative arts, antiques, and mid-century modern design.
We are honored to represent the estate of Drs. E. Wiley and Gloria C. Biles.
