NEW YORK, March 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For many
people, antiquities collecting seems like something for only the
very wealthy, but with Phoenix Ancient Art's innovative e-commerce
site — www.e-tiquities.com — the world of high-end
antiquities has been opened to a larger audience than ever
before.
The site, e-tiquities.com, features antiquities available for
purchase online from the cultures that thrived in and around
the Mediterranean basin. They include a wide range of art,
including jewelry, figurines, amulets, sculptures, and vases from
areas such as Greece, Rome, Egypt,
and Byzantium.
As an example, one e-tiquity currently on the site is
an ancient Egyptian necklace with a pendant of the
Goddess Sekhmet, once exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in 1920. New pieces will be added weekly, ensuring a constant
flow of e-tiquities on the site.
"In launching e-tiquities by Phoenix Ancient Art, we hope both
to introduce a new audience to the cultures of the ancient world,
and to give our existing clients an easy way to expand their
collections," said Hicham Aboutaam, President of Electrum, the
New York agent for Phoenix Ancient
Art. "One of the things which makes Phoenix Ancient Art special in
our field is the guarantee of authenticity that is provided to our
clients, whether they buy works in our galleries or on our new
website. Over the years, we've developed procedures to establish
provenance (chain of ownership) to ensure that our pieces are both
authentic and on the market in accordance with international
law."
"Given current economic conditions, people of all financial
status are looking for safer havens for their investments," said
Mr. Aboutaam. "Antiquities have always been a good alternative
through both booms and busts, and unlike stocks or bonds, the
return on investment includes a piece of timeless beauty."
The e-tiquities have been carefully selected for their aesthetic
quality, as well as for their price point. By showcasing a broad
range of cultures and periods, as well as various types of objects,
e-tiquities.com illustrates just how diverse a collection can be.
In addition, the site includes a wealth of information on each of
the featured cultures, making it a valuable reference tool.
E-tiquities.com offers free shipping worldwide. Purchases can be
made with a credit card and can be returned within 14 days.
