William Smith Auctions

Wigren-Barlow Art & Antiques has been in business in Woodstock, Vermont for over half a century. Jack Barlow, a New York native, intended to pursue a career in teaching, but instead got the “antique bug” while attending Middlebury College in Vermont.

A few years after graduation, in the early 1950s, Jack moved to Woodstock where he opened Wigren-Barlow Antiques with partner Charlie Wigren. Charlie passed away in the mid-1980s and Jack passed away in 2013. The current owners, who were frequent customers, purchased the property and the business in 1999.  What attracted them to the property and the business was the beautiful setting in a quaint New England village and a well-established customer base throughout the United States.

After 75 years of being in business, Wigren-Barlow Antiques is closing its doors and William Smith’s has the honor of transitioning these wonderfully curated pieces to their new homes.
