Most recent installation of the antiquities collection, including many pieces donated by Clio Ancient Art & Antiquities' "Chris M. Maupin Irrevocable Trust for Ancient Art". This is the 3rd re-installation of the relatively new collection and includes many pieces that Clio Ancient Art and the Trust worked with the Museum on acquiring from other private collectors. Of course, only a fraction of the collection, now numbering over 200 objects, is on display at any one time; perhaps 45 objects. Of the 40 or so pieces gifted by the Trust, about 15 are currently on display.

A Useful Tool: Our “Sold Antiquities” Page

http://www.clioancientart.com/id18.html

This is the link to our “Sold Antiquities” page, which includes images and brief descriptions of objects we’ve sold over the last couple of years. By virtue of the great number of items it displays, it is a very useful tool both for researching antiquities in general, and specifically for tracking antiquities we’ve sold. So often, antiquities with perfectly legitimate provenance pass from a dealer to a private collector, then perhaps to another collector or dealer, and loose their provenance information in the process. Using this page, items we’ve sold may be traced back to Clio Ancient Art and their long term provenance established.

Here’s the link again: http://www.clioancientart.com/id18.html

Enjoy!
