Archive of sold antiquities
All artefacts sold in our gallery are fully documented in our online archive and database.

That is particularly useful for artefacts that changed owners in the meantime. Information that may have been lost in the process can be easily restored from our archives.

We can help you with reconstructing the history of ownership for those items. All information about our customers will be kept confidential, of course.-
