The Archaeology Department caters to collectors passionate about ancient history and archaeological artifacts, particularly those who seek tangible testimonies of past civilizations and distant epochs. Every object and historical artifact featured in the auctions organized by Bertolami Fine Art serves as a window into the life, culture, and traditions of ancient societies. The Department handles both individual items and entire collections of archaeological artifacts, ranging from prehistory to the dawn of the Middle Ages.
During the evaluation phase, lots are meticulously analyzed and then selected based on various criteria, including provenance, authenticity, condition and completeness, era, materials, and more. The primary goal of the archaeology sales is to offer a wide-ranging, high-quality selection capable of meeting the diverse needs of collectors, scholars, enthusiasts, and investors. The auction catalogs for archaeological artifacts showcase a variety of civilizations, with particular focus on Greek, Etruscan, and Italic cultures. Among the items featured are everyday objects such as vases, amphorae, cups, and bowls, ancient oil lamps, sculptures and statues, mosaics, architectural fragments, funerary inscriptions and cinerary urns, sacred and ritual objects, and much more.
The primary mission of the Archaeology Department is the study, cataloging, appraisal, and marketing of archaeological artifacts through two distinct channels: auction sales and private negotiations. The latter is reserved for artifacts of significant economic, cultural, and historical value. All sales of archaeological artifacts, regardless of the format, are conducted in full compliance with Italian regulations on cultural heritage protection.
In addition to its activities related to artifact sales, the Department offers specialized appraisal services for objects of archaeological interest in collaboration with prestigious Italian universities.
This approach ensures in-depth and accurate analyses, further enhancing the value of archaeological heritage in terms of art, history, and culture.
