A Professional Seller
It is a large dragon robe. At the beginning it is hard to believe it could be sent safely. The auction house take care of it professionally and packed it in a safe way. Finally I received it after two months. Many thanks!

Auction House is fantastic
I have purchased 2 items from Simpson and have found them to be quite helpful and the auctions very smooth. I also have found UPS astoundingly good on small items. However, beware of sending freight...... the new freight company that bought UPS freight was an absolute nightmare!!! Weeks upon weeks of delays, difficulty reaching them, deceptive statements about deliveries, etc. I really did not think I was ever going to receive the painting. I would never do it again and will now stick to smaller items next time. However, I stress that Simpson themselves are fantastic and will definitely bid with them again!!

The photos match the item in person!
Simpson Galleries has a good variety of items in their auctions. I purchased a collection of framed prints and the photos for the auction accurately represented the condition of the items when I picked them up. The payment and in person pickup process was smooth and fast.
