In 1819, when Henry W. Longfellow, America's native son, was 12 years old, Henry Bailey opened a general merchandise store at Ingraham Wharf. |
|
|
In 1867, the year following Portland's great fire, Henry Bailey died and the business was carried on by his son, F.O. Bailey. |
|
|
In 1977, Joy and Jack Piscopo purchased the company and have continued its reputation of consistency and integrity coupled with their own enthusiasm and knowledge of the antique market. |
|
| Today, F.O. Bailey continues to provide its clients with expert consulting and appraisal in the sale of fine art and antiques. Our auctions are attended by buyers from all over the U.S. who have come to rely on us for fresh merchandise from estates all over Northern New England. |
