Simpson's Galleries

I am grateful for the professionalism and quality of service and auction items offered by Simpson Galleries. I am super happy with my entire experience and look forward to watching for more of their auctions in the future.

Some of the highest Seller's commission rates in the industry-30% Will promise lower rates sometimes but won't fulfill agreement or even release payment at all. Very Dishonest. Horrible communication. Sell elsewhere. There are many HONEST galleries out there and they don't charge 30%. It's important to give your items to a trustworthy gallery.

I found out the hard way that this auction house scams buyers and sellers. Bought an expensive "jade" piece, ended up being cheap soapstone. Also bought an expensive "antique" portrait, ended up being a cheap contemporary piece from the 20th century. No refunds, no returns. I'm stuck with these cheap pieces that I paid heavily for. Took them to another auction house in Texas who asked me why I would even step foot in the infamous Simpson Galleries!?

Also heard of these scammers not paying consignors proceeds from sales. Don't find out the hard way as I did--stay far away from this joint. They are also quite rude by the way.

Simpson Galleries is a great place, the staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I'm giving Simpson Galleries 5 Stars, because the system will not allow me to give this Gallery 10 Stars.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Reneged on sale after item sold to me for opening bid. Promised to provide proof of a "clerking" error, never followed through.

Wonderful items in their auctions. Previewing appointment was most professional. Though we mostly bid on art, our most recent win was a vintage settee which Daniel helped load and secure in our truck. Educated curator staff, pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to the next auction.

The auctions at Simpson Galleries are run extremely professionally, from the owners to the office staff to the guys in the warehouse that take great care with helping you load up your purchases. I've bought a number of wonderful items here and it has been a great experience every time -- the quality has been exquisite and the condition has been even better than shown in the photographs. Bidding is robust and the array of items is vast so it's a great experience for both buyers and sellers. Highly recommend.

I've bid with this auction house previously and won once, but in their most recent auction I placed bids on five lots and was the high bidder on two of them. I faxed my absentee bids to them and my fax machine confirmed that the fax went through successfully. Simpson lost my bids with no explanation, so I wouldn't waste time going through their catalogs and submitting bids on anything again.

Extremely poor communication. It didn't have a good auction catalogue advertisement. It's a weak gallery to consign with. If you're an out of state consignor you have to pay for the shipping cost and arrangement. I have a very disappointed experienced. I would definitely consign somewhere else. Lots of galleries way better than this one.

Solid auctioneers. Family owned and operated. I have met the owners and and they are super friendly, genuine and solid. Catalogues are very informative and impeccably written.

Study their catalogs carefully and there are some wonderful finds here. They handle transactions very professionally and I've never had problems getting things properly packaged so that they are well protected for pickup.
