Fall Fine Art & Design Auction
The Hughes Fall Fine Art & Design Auction on October 31, 2021 includes fine art, designer furnishings, and one of a kind maritime collectibles from the estate of artist Joe Duncan Gleason (1881-1959).
Hughes is thrilled to be auctioning a fascinating selection of nautical items from the personal collection of artist Joe Duncan Gleason (1881-1959). All items in the collection are from the Estate of Joe Duncan Gleason, by descent in the family. For collectors of maritime and nautical artifacts or artworks by Duncan Gleason, the provenance is outstanding for these unique items.
