I just received the incised Yortan vase this week and the Luristan bronze mace head a few weeks before that. Both are in wonderful condition and were better than I had expected. Thank you again for such exceptional antiquities to add to my collection!

Amazing Antiquities
Well, I recently put in a review and I,’ve bought again. Two Greek pieces, superb quality and reasonable prices. Information excellent and delivery swift. I know of only one other dealer who can match this quality of item and service. When I’m buying, Helios will be the first place I’,LL look.

You have just put a big smile on my face, thank you David 🙂
A splendid and exceptional purchase !!!!
I knew the Antiques Gallery “Helios Gallery”, and my first purchase was exceptional: a “East Mediterranean alabaster vessel”.
A small vase but of particular use, probably to contain make-up powder, having a conical shape but with a modern design, even if of ancient Canaanite culture. An exceptional and rare antiquity: fully satisfied with the purchase !!!!! Danilo
Response from Helios Gallery
So glad we made you happy Danilo 🙂 and thank you for your fabulous review, Sam & Rolf
TWO BEAUTIFUL PHOENIC CANANIAN BRONZETS

Thank you Danilo for your fab review, so glad you love the little bronzes, we did 🙂
A great experience
Having ordered my first item from Helios Gallery I am delighted with the service received. It makes such a difference dealing with specialists who are experienced archeologists in their own right and sell only genuine artefacts. Rolf went out of his way to help throughout and his freindly, knowledgeable approach was much appreciated and valued. What a very refreshing change from the often patchy reliability of many traders in ancient artefacts. I can recommend Helios Gallery without a second’s hesitation and will certainly be back.

Egyptian amulets
I really like the idea of a Christmas sale ! I was very pleased with the items purchased.
Response from Helios Gallery
Thank you Tony, we always try to get the smaller items on the website at several points during the year, it means new collectors can get a chance to acquire and admire the antiquities without having to part with lots of cash 🙂 Glad you like the seals, Sam and Rolf
