This is a group which discusses Antiquities. In particular, Egyptian and Classical antiquities. And, if you've got questions or statements regarding Pre-Columbian or Asian antiquities, feel free to ask questions or reply about a given dealer or a collector.
Feel free to speak your mind - BUT KEEP IT ON TOPIC, or you'll be evicted immediately and banned.
I encourage valid arguments about objects and dealers. If you've got something substantial to say, then feel free. However, if your statement is, in the opinion of a moderator, inappropriate (and there's a W I D E berth here) we'll evict you and delete your messages at our discretion.
Regarding "antiquities" - this term describes the objects left behind by ancient cultures. In this light, for example, Pre-Hispanic South American antiquities such as Chimu or Moche artifacts would be acceptable, however, post-Hispanic Occupation period pieces would not. This is about "antiquities" - NOT antiques.
Thank-You for joining. I hope this proves to be enlightening for all who care to contribute or simply listen.
Best Regards,
