Apolonia Ancient Art is well known in the trade for offering high quality objects and coins. Apolonia Ancient Art has worked with many of the market leaders in the US and Europe. Apolonia Ancient Art has a global presence and reach, and this is apparent with the rare and superb quality objects that we offer. Whether you are a neophyte or an advanced collector, we are happy to work with you in starting a collection or finding what you are looking for. We also offer an "Invoice/Bill of Sale", along with an "Authenticity Certificate (COA)" that includes a full description, the condition, and the known provenance for each object. In addition, the "Authenticity Certificate (COA)" may include additional information such as market comparables, as we have a very extensive library. The research of market comparables is a service that very few people can offer, and this information is seen relative to many of the pieces that we offer on our web site. This knowledge and experience is also seen relative to our published book: "INTO THE ANTIQUITIES TRADE" by Kevin R. Cheek. This book is a valuable resource for both the neophyte and the advanced collector, and there is additional information relative to buying and collecting ancient works of art. Apolonia Ancient Art is also aware of the myriad of cultural patrimony laws and import restrictions, and every object represented and owned by Apolonia Ancient Art has been legally acquired, and some objects are noted with additional documentation. This additional documentation may include copies of invoices, EU Export Certificates, US Customs documents, prior owner affidavits, Bills of Sale, TL tests, etc. Apolonia Ancient Art also holds a US Customs Bond, and all of our importations are cleared with our customs brokers. Apolonia Ancient Art also works with the Art Loss Register based in London, and many pieces offered on our web site have been cleared with their data base.
