About
I have over 40 years of experience collecting, researching, admiring, and selling ancient art to refined collectors and world’s museums such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Louvre, Paris & Abu Dhabi, The Miho Museum, and of course the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Geneva.
Publications
Over the years, I have spent countless hours putting together harmonious selections of artworks that display the master craft of ancient civilizations from Neolithic Europe and Pre-Dynastic Egypt, to Mesopotamia and the Levant, through the Greek world, the Roman Empire, and all the way to Byzantium and the start of Islam.
Collections
I’m always interested in assisting collectors with their needs and helping them hone in on the kind of art that truly brings their lives joy and happiness.
Currently developing a collection of ancient Greek and Roman coins and rare wines. Reach out if that sounds interesting to you.
