      • Shabtis (Ushabtis)Shabti (or ushabti) were figurines, in the form of mummies, placed in an ancient Egyptian tomb to work for the deceased in the afterlife. They can be seen holding agricultural tools to aid them in this task. As early as the 18th Dynasty the importance of the worker is evident, as is the inclusion of an overseer, who manages the workers in the afterlife. They were mostly made of faience, but wood, bronze, and stone were also used.
      • Fertility FigurinesRepresentations of fertility differed between cultures. Made from various materials, such as stone, wood, yarn, and metal, figurines and statuettes were used to boost fertility and encourage healthy childbirth. In ancient Egyptian culture, infant mortality was high; children were treated as security for older age and times of illness which made them both precious and valued. The fertility goddess statues were have in our collection would have been held very dear to someone in ancient history. Legend says that if placed at the entrance to the bedroom, or if the statues are rubbed or touched by either the woman or her spouse, pregnancy could follow.

      • Jars, Flasks & JugsMany works of ancient glass and pottery were designed for tableware use, in particular for carrying and serving water and wine at banquets. Jugs, flasks, and jars were the most frequently used containers for this purpose and they came in a variety of dimensions and sizes. Globular glass flasks have a rounded bottom and narrow neck as they were used primarily to store and pour liquids. Piriform and elongated piriform glass flaskswere in use for about 100 years. These are basically pear-shaped, with a longer neck and a lip around the rim.

    • The Egyptian World
      • Egyptian AntiquitiesFull of mysticism and romance, antiquities from Ancient Egypt capture our attention and fuel our imagination. Ancient Egyptian faience shabtis and amulets, protective scarabs, beautiful gold and semi-precious jewellery, as well as aesthetic cartonnage can all be found here.
        • ShabtisShabti (or ushabti) were figurines, in the form of mummies, placed in an ancient Egyptian tomb to do any work that the dead person might be called upon to do in the afterlife. They were mostly made of faience, but wood, bronze and stone were also used.
        • CartonnageIn the study of Egyptology and Papyrology, Cartonnage can be defined as plastered layers of fibre or papyrus. The plastered material was flexible when wet and could be moulded against the irregular surfaces of the body. Egyptian cartonnage was used to produce cases, mummy masks or panels to cover all or part of the mummified body. The plastered surface was then decorated with scenes from Egyptian Mythology and culture, including Egyptian gods and goddesses and scenes from the Book of the Dead.

According to mythology, Horus lost his eye in a struggle with Seth, which was later magically restored by Hathor. The eye was personified as the goddess Wadjet. The “all-seeing eye” symbol is commonly used in ancient Egyptian jewellery such as faience amulets to bring health, wisdom and prosperity to the bearer.

      • Roman Antiquities
        • Ancient Roman CoinsThe history of Ancient Roman coins begins with the first cast bronze coins of the Roman Republic and had its highest peak during the Roman Empire. Through this period Rome experienced great economic prosperity under various Emperors, which is clearly evident from the variety of coins issued throughout the lifespan of the Empire. Ancient Roman coins were double faced and made in all the three principal metals- bronze, gold and silver. They bared the name and the portrait of the issuing emperor and variety representations, testifying the widening of the political, cultural and religious horizons of the empire.

    • The Byzantine EmpireThe Byzantine Empire, of which Constantinople was the capital, became an important centre of artistic production. In the Byzantine Empire a new aesthetic language appeared, deriving from Roman and Barbarian artistic tradition, and from oriental cultures. Splendid antique artifacts, Byzantine jewellery and glass, are offered for sale.

        • Byzantine CoinsByzantine coinage is catalogued with the start of Anastasius I’s reign, from 491-518 A.D. Within this category you will find examples of gold solidii and silver hexagrams. The Byzantine Empire lasted almost 1000 years, beginning from the decline of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century to the sack of Constantinople in 1453 A.D. Within this period the Empire developed its own set of numismatic aesthetics and Byzantine coins document the tumultuous lows and highs of the Empire’s history.

    • The Greek World
      • Greek AntiquitiesWe offer antique artefacts, ware vessels, precious jewellery, terracotta statuettes and many more treasures from Ancient Greece, South Italy, and from the regions that have been most influenced by it. The culture and mythology of Ancient Greece, pillars of modern Western civilization, have not ceased to fascinate and inspire people throughout the centuries.
        • Ancient Greek CoinsThe first Ancient Greek coins, created shortly before 600 B.C, were made of electrum. As techniques progressed solid gold and silver coins were then developed. The Ancient Greek world was divided into thousands of self-ruling city states and each produced their own currency, using coins as a symbol of status. For both the experienced and novice numismatist, collecting Ancient Greek coins provides a varied spectrum to choose from. Our Greek Numismatic section includes examples of the Athenian drachma, Alexander the Great tetradrachms and staters from Boeotia and Corinth.

        • ApolloIn Ancient Greek mythology, Apollo was one of the most important deities. He was the god of the sun, music, poetry, healing and prophecy. He was the leader of the Muses, the inspirational goddesses of all arts and literature.
        • DionysusIn Ancient Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of wine, vegetation, fertility and ecstasy, later considered a patron of the arts. The son of Zeus, he is depicted across ancient artefacts whereby frivolity and merrymaking are the essence of the piece.
        • ErosIn Ancient Greek mythology and culture, Eros was the god of attraction. In early Greek art, Eros was depicted as an adult male embodying sexual power, but in late representations he was depicted as a chubby child.
        • HermesHermes was an Olympian god in Ancient Greek religion and mythology. He was the emissary and messenger of the gods. In many myths, he was also regarded as a skilled trickster.
        • MedusaMedusa was a Gorgon, which was a winged female who had snakes for hair. She was so hideous that gazers upon her face would turn to stone. In early myths, she was born this way, but in Ovid’s Metamorphoses she was a beautiful maiden whom Poseidon raped in the temple of Athena, who reacted by turning Medusa into a fearfully ugly creature.
        • SphynxIn Greek tradition, the winged sphynx was a mythological creature with the head of a human, the body of a lion and the wings of a bird. It is mythicised as treacherous and merciless. Those who cannot answer its riddle suffer a fate typical in such mythological stories, as they are killed and eaten by this ravenous monster. The bee was believed to be the sacred insect that bridged the natural world to the underworld.
      • Greek Rulers
        • Alexander the GreatAlexander the Great was the king of the Greek Kingdom of Macedon. He was born in 356BC and succeeded from his father, Philip II, at just 20 years old. His love for campaigning saw him build up one of the largest empires of the Ancient World in just 10 years. He was undefeated in battle and is seen as one of history’s most successful military campaigners.

    • Gandharan, Indian & BactrianFusing together the artistic styles of Indian and Hellenic cultures, Gandharan art displays the aesthetic attributes of Buddhism. Ancient statues of the Guatama Buddha, scenes from his ascetic life and devout Bodhisattvas are frequently depicted. The varying mudra, asana and Vajra of each statue will represent important universal Buddhist teachings.

        • Shakyamuni Buddha“The Buddha” commonly refers to Gautama Buddha, however Buddha is a title meaning “awakened one”, denoting one who has achieved nirvana, of which there are many and also refers to the principle of Buddha-nature in all. In Mahayana Buddhism, “Shakyamuni Buddha” refers to the historical Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama who initiated the teachings of Buddhism. Shakyamuni means sage of the Shakya given that Siddhārtha Gautama, who was to become the Shakyamuni Buddha was born a prince of the Shakya clan.
        • BodhisattvaGandharan Buddhism was of the school of Mahayana Buddhism which is based principally on the path of the bodhisattva as an ideal, though the bodhisattva is not a concept exclusive to Mahayana. As buddha is a title for one who has achieved enlightenment, so a bodhisattva is similarly a title: Though it is a problematically simplistic definition, a bodhisattva can be described as one who delays his enlightenment in order to assist others in their acquisition of enlightenment. Mahayana Buddhism encourages its adherents to take bodhisattva vows, in which sense a bodhisattva can be considered a devotee on the path to liberation, yet in another sense the bodhisattva is the ideal in comparison with the pratyekabuddha meaning a private or silent buddha – one who achieves perfect buddhahood but does not disseminate his experience or understandings. More related to Gandharan buddhist sculpture is the popularity of a pantheon of bodhisattvas similar to saints in Catholic doctrine which were popular subjects for sculpture. Showing significant Hellenistic influence, the statues of the bodhisattvas are represented as richly adorned princes, more resplendent than the more reserved buddha statues.
        • MaitreyaMaitreya is a common figure in the sculpture of the Gandharan world. He is a future Buddha, though depicted in the more resplendent dress of a bodhisattva. He is one who will appear, enlightened and teach the pure dharma at the time when most have forgotten it. Many interpret this as referring esoterically to the potential Buddha in all. Maitreya is commonly identified by a flask he holds in his left hand.

      • Shipwreck PotteryAncient shipwrecks with cargoes containing porcelain and pottery offer us an unparalleled insight into ancient maritime trade and the nature of goods traded. Cargoes were prepared and packed so tightly that even after centuries spent under silt and coral, many examples were recovered in almost pristine condition.
        • Tek SingThe Tek Sing …. See our Tek Sing Collection page to learn more about the finds from this Chinese shipwreck.
        • Hoi AnThese porcelain vessels and artefacts come from the Hoi An shipwreck, which sank in the late 15th-early 16th century. Fishermen discovered the wreck in the early 90s, in the open seas off Cu Lao Cham Island, known as the most capricious waters in Vietnam. The government soon realised the importance of the cargo and got involved, ordering underwater excavations (1997-1999). More than 150,000 objects were found. Ceramics from the Hoi An Hoard are nowadays known to be the most precious and complete representations of Vietnamese artisanship in glazed ceramics. See our Hoi An Collection page to learn more about this shipwreck cargo.
        • Blue & WhiteOur blue and white porcelain shipwreck pottery has been assessed by experts to be excellent examples of early Chinese Kangxi in origin, of a quality indicating they were manufactured in the famous porcelain center of Jingdezhen in the Jiangsu Province. Jingdezhen kilns made porcelain over two millennia, since the Han Dynasty period. Blue and white porcelain was the most famous product of Jingdezhen, and reached the height of its technical excellence in the early Ching Dynasty. The very high quality cobalt blue colouring, distinctive on the early Kangxi period fine porcelains where it is referred to as ‘gem blue’ or ‘kingfisher blue’, is much purer and brighter than that of Ming Dynasty wares.

They serve as practical functions such as fastening tunics and holding weapons, but they also reflect the social status of the owner according to the material and decorations. Strap ends were designed to protect the belt from fraying or curling, or for decorative purpose. Most of the strap ends were made by copper alloy, while the silver and gold ones were used by rich family or aristocracy.

      • Shabtis (Ushabtis)Shabti (or ushabti) were figurines, in the form of mummies, placed in an ancient Egyptian tomb to work for the deceased in the afterlife. They can be seen holding agricultural tools to aid them in this task. As early as the 18th Dynasty the importance of the worker is evident, as is the inclusion of an overseer, who manages the workers in the afterlife. They were mostly made of faience, but wood, bronze, and stone were also used.
      • Fertility FigurinesRepresentations of fertility differed between cultures. Made from various materials, such as stone, wood, yarn, and metal, figurines and statuettes were used to boost fertility and encourage healthy childbirth. In ancient Egyptian culture, infant mortality was high; children were treated as security for older age and times of illness which made them both precious and valued. The fertility goddess statues were have in our collection would have been held very dear to someone in ancient history. Legend says that if placed at the entrance to the bedroom, or if the statues are rubbed or touched by either the woman or her spouse, pregnancy could follow.

      • Jars, Flasks & JugsMany works of ancient glass and pottery were designed for tableware use, in particular for carrying and serving water and wine at banquets. Jugs, flasks, and jars were the most frequently used containers for this purpose and they came in a variety of dimensions and sizes. Globular glass flasks have a rounded bottom and narrow neck as they were used primarily to store and pour liquids. Piriform and elongated piriform glass flaskswere in use for about 100 years. These are basically pear-shaped, with a longer neck and a lip around the rim.

      • Egyptian AntiquitiesFull of mysticism and romance, antiquities from Ancient Egypt capture our attention and fuel our imagination. Ancient Egyptian faience shabtis and amulets, protective scarabs, beautiful gold and semi-precious jewellery, as well as aesthetic cartonnage can all be found here.
        • ShabtisShabti (or ushabti) were figurines, in the form of mummies, placed in an ancient Egyptian tomb to do any work that the dead person might be called upon to do in the afterlife. They were mostly made of faience, but wood, bronze and stone were also used.
        • CartonnageIn the study of Egyptology and Papyrology, Cartonnage can be defined as plastered layers of fibre or papyrus. The plastered material was flexible when wet and could be moulded against the irregular surfaces of the body. Egyptian cartonnage was used to produce cases, mummy masks or panels to cover all or part of the mummified body. The plastered surface was then decorated with scenes from Egyptian Mythology and culture, including Egyptian gods and goddesses and scenes from the Book of the Dead.

According to mythology, Horus lost his eye in a struggle with Seth, which was later magically restored by Hathor. The eye was personified as the goddess Wadjet. The “all-seeing eye” symbol is commonly used in ancient Egyptian jewellery such as faience amulets to bring health, wisdom and prosperity to the bearer.

      • Roman Antiquities
        • Ancient Roman CoinsThe history of Ancient Roman coins begins with the first cast bronze coins of the Roman Republic and had its highest peak during the Roman Empire. Through this period Rome experienced great economic prosperity under various Emperors, which is clearly evident from the variety of coins issued throughout the lifespan of the Empire. Ancient Roman coins were double faced and made in all the three principal metals- bronze, gold and silver. They bared the name and the portrait of the issuing emperor and variety representations, testifying the widening of the political, cultural and religious horizons of the empire.

    • The Byzantine EmpireThe Byzantine Empire, of which Constantinople was the capital, became an important centre of artistic production. In the Byzantine Empire a new aesthetic language appeared, deriving from Roman and Barbarian artistic tradition, and from oriental cultures. Splendid antique artifacts, Byzantine jewellery and glass, are offered for sale.

        • Byzantine CoinsByzantine coinage is catalogued with the start of Anastasius I’s reign, from 491-518 A.D. Within this category you will find examples of gold solidii and silver hexagrams. The Byzantine Empire lasted almost 1000 years, beginning from the decline of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century to the sack of Constantinople in 1453 A.D. Within this period the Empire developed its own set of numismatic aesthetics and Byzantine coins document the tumultuous lows and highs of the Empire’s history.

    • The Greek World
      • Greek AntiquitiesWe offer antique artefacts, ware vessels, precious jewellery, terracotta statuettes and many more treasures from Ancient Greece, South Italy, and from the regions that have been most influenced by it. The culture and mythology of Ancient Greece, pillars of modern Western civilization, have not ceased to fascinate and inspire people throughout the centuries.
        • Ancient Greek CoinsThe first Ancient Greek coins, created shortly before 600 B.C, were made of electrum. As techniques progressed solid gold and silver coins were then developed. The Ancient Greek world was divided into thousands of self-ruling city states and each produced their own currency, using coins as a symbol of status. For both the experienced and novice numismatist, collecting Ancient Greek coins provides a varied spectrum to choose from. Our Greek Numismatic section includes examples of the Athenian drachma, Alexander the Great tetradrachms and staters from Boeotia and Corinth.

        • ApolloIn Ancient Greek mythology, Apollo was one of the most important deities. He was the god of the sun, music, poetry, healing and prophecy. He was the leader of the Muses, the inspirational goddesses of all arts and literature.
        • DionysusIn Ancient Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of wine, vegetation, fertility and ecstasy, later considered a patron of the arts. The son of Zeus, he is depicted across ancient artefacts whereby frivolity and merrymaking are the essence of the piece.
        • ErosIn Ancient Greek mythology and culture, Eros was the god of attraction. In early Greek art, Eros was depicted as an adult male embodying sexual power, but in late representations he was depicted as a chubby child.
        • HermesHermes was an Olympian god in Ancient Greek religion and mythology. He was the emissary and messenger of the gods. In many myths, he was also regarded as a skilled trickster.
        • MedusaMedusa was a Gorgon, which was a winged female who had snakes for hair. She was so hideous that gazers upon her face would turn to stone. In early myths, she was born this way, but in Ovid’s Metamorphoses she was a beautiful maiden whom Poseidon raped in the temple of Athena, who reacted by turning Medusa into a fearfully ugly creature.
        • SphynxIn Greek tradition, the winged sphynx was a mythological creature with the head of a human, the body of a lion and the wings of a bird. It is mythicised as treacherous and merciless. Those who cannot answer its riddle suffer a fate typical in such mythological stories, as they are killed and eaten by this ravenous monster. The bee was believed to be the sacred insect that bridged the natural world to the underworld.
      • Greek Rulers
        • Alexander the GreatAlexander the Great was the king of the Greek Kingdom of Macedon. He was born in 356BC and succeeded from his father, Philip II, at just 20 years old. His love for campaigning saw him build up one of the largest empires of the Ancient World in just 10 years. He was undefeated in battle and is seen as one of history’s most successful military campaigners.

    • Gandharan, Indian & BactrianFusing together the artistic styles of Indian and Hellenic cultures, Gandharan art displays the aesthetic attributes of Buddhism. Ancient statues of the Guatama Buddha, scenes from his ascetic life and devout Bodhisattvas are frequently depicted. The varying mudra, asana and Vajra of each statue will represent important universal Buddhist teachings.

        • Shakyamuni Buddha“The Buddha” commonly refers to Gautama Buddha, however Buddha is a title meaning “awakened one”, denoting one who has achieved nirvana, of which there are many and also refers to the principle of Buddha-nature in all. In Mahayana Buddhism, “Shakyamuni Buddha” refers to the historical Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama who initiated the teachings of Buddhism. Shakyamuni means sage of the Shakya given that Siddhārtha Gautama, who was to become the Shakyamuni Buddha was born a prince of the Shakya clan.
        • BodhisattvaGandharan Buddhism was of the school of Mahayana Buddhism which is based principally on the path of the bodhisattva as an ideal, though the bodhisattva is not a concept exclusive to Mahayana. As buddha is a title for one who has achieved enlightenment, so a bodhisattva is similarly a title: Though it is a problematically simplistic definition, a bodhisattva can be described as one who delays his enlightenment in order to assist others in their acquisition of enlightenment. Mahayana Buddhism encourages its adherents to take bodhisattva vows, in which sense a bodhisattva can be considered a devotee on the path to liberation, yet in another sense the bodhisattva is the ideal in comparison with the pratyekabuddha meaning a private or silent buddha – one who achieves perfect buddhahood but does not disseminate his experience or understandings. More related to Gandharan buddhist sculpture is the popularity of a pantheon of bodhisattvas similar to saints in Catholic doctrine which were popular subjects for sculpture. Showing significant Hellenistic influence, the statues of the bodhisattvas are represented as richly adorned princes, more resplendent than the more reserved buddha statues.
        • MaitreyaMaitreya is a common figure in the sculpture of the Gandharan world. He is a future Buddha, though depicted in the more resplendent dress of a bodhisattva. He is one who will appear, enlightened and teach the pure dharma at the time when most have forgotten it. Many interpret this as referring esoterically to the potential Buddha in all. Maitreya is commonly identified by a flask he holds in his left hand.

      • Shipwreck PotteryAncient shipwrecks with cargoes containing porcelain and pottery offer us an unparalleled insight into ancient maritime trade and the nature of goods traded. Cargoes were prepared and packed so tightly that even after centuries spent under silt and coral, many examples were recovered in almost pristine condition.
        • Tek SingThe Tek Sing …. See our Tek Sing Collection page to learn more about the finds from this Chinese shipwreck.
        • Hoi AnThese porcelain vessels and artefacts come from the Hoi An shipwreck, which sank in the late 15th-early 16th century. Fishermen discovered the wreck in the early 90s, in the open seas off Cu Lao Cham Island, known as the most capricious waters in Vietnam. The government soon realised the importance of the cargo and got involved, ordering underwater excavations (1997-1999). More than 150,000 objects were found. Ceramics from the Hoi An Hoard are nowadays known to be the most precious and complete representations of Vietnamese artisanship in glazed ceramics. See our Hoi An Collection page to learn more about this shipwreck cargo.
        • Blue & WhiteOur blue and white porcelain shipwreck pottery has been assessed by experts to be excellent examples of early Chinese Kangxi in origin, of a quality indicating they were manufactured in the famous porcelain center of Jingdezhen in the Jiangsu Province. Jingdezhen kilns made porcelain over two millennia, since the Han Dynasty period. Blue and white porcelain was the most famous product of Jingdezhen, and reached the height of its technical excellence in the early Ching Dynasty. The very high quality cobalt blue colouring, distinctive on the early Kangxi period fine porcelains where it is referred to as ‘gem blue’ or ‘kingfisher blue’, is much purer and brighter than that of Ming Dynasty wares.

Most of the strap ends were made by copper alloy, while the silver and gold ones were used by rich family or aristocracy.

    • The CeltsStretching predominantly across the Iron and Medieval ages, the Celts were an Indo-European group of people, with varying identities and language disparities. Prominent Celtic periods include the Hallstatt culture, beginning from as early as the late Bronze age in 1200 B.C. and the La Tene culture, which was eventually overrun by the Roman Empire. Our Celtic antiquities include bronze jewellery, weaponry and ceremonial pieces.

Prominent Celtic periods include the Hallstatt culture, beginning from as early as the late Bronze age in 1200 B.C. and the La Tene culture, which was eventually overrun by the Roman Empire. Our Celtic antiquities include bronze jewellery, weaponry and ceremonial pieces.

    • The Medieval World
      • Medieval AntiquitiesKnown also as the Middle Ages, the Medieval period covers a large stretch of history, beginning with the decline of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century to the beginning of the Renaissance in the 15th century. This historical period stretched across multiple countries throughout Europe, culminating in advancements in civil and mechanical technology. Medieval artefacts within our galleries, such as innovative weaponry, delicate bronze work and beautiful illuminated manuscripts, highlight the flourishing achievements of the time.
