Invest in ancient artMany investment advisors recommend that you keep a portion of your investment portfolio, even if only a few percentage points,
in art.
We'd like to be even more specific and recommend that you invest in ancient art.
While the modern art market can be volatile, ancient art, due to its scarcity, has traditionally appreciated at a rate of 8 to 10% annually.

Guidelines for Collecting
Ten sound rules as a guide for art collecting:
- Study the field which interests you the most.
- Buy carefully at first.
- Make sure that your work of art has quality.
- Deal with a top dealer. Some dealers and major galleries will guarantee the authenticity of the art work they sell so check this point.
- Do not buy art works just because they are a current rage.
- Ask the advice of museum directors or curators whenever possible.
- Decide upon your investing limit before you buy. If you fall in love with a more expensive object try to arrange for a time payment. We certainly encourage this and offer FLEXIBLE PURCHASE PLAN.
- Spread your financial risk by buying a variety of art unless you are expert in a particular field.
- Buy the best examples you can afford in any category.
- Do not buy objects that have been significantly restored.
- Buy pieces that you love. It’s wonderful that ancient art is a good investment, but remember that whatever you purchase is also going to be a part of your home and will be cherished for years.
- Consider giving ancient art as a gift. It is not only a great compliment to the recipient, it will appreciate in value. As Helen-Louise Seggerman wrote in Town & Country, it is “remarkable the short time it has taken for collecting ancient art to go from a relative backwater to the forefront of collecting.
