I received, just before Christmas, a Roman red ware pottery flask as a present for my wife. Rolf showed great patience in meeting my unusual payment/delivery date requests and my wife is delighted with the item.

Helios Gallery, my favorite online antique shop without a doubt. Why? Regular stock renewal with interesting pieces at great prices. Staff honest, extremely knowledgeable about their objects and always very helpful. Orders consistently dispatched quickly and well packaged.
I hope to do business with you again in 2021.

Thank you for you kind comment Mike, Sam and Rolf 🙂
I just received the Luristan beaker through the mail that I ordered from Helios at the beginning of the month. It is in spectacular condition, and the shipping was very prompt. Up to now I have only collected Roman and Greek coins, so I had looked forward to expanding my antiquities collection. I am very satisfied with my experience with your gallery so far and intend to make further purchases in the near future. Thank you for making this such a pleasurable experience.

Thank you so much Alyn, and very pleased you are happy with the beaker, merry Christmas, Sam and Rolf 🙂
Our 19th anniversary (The Bronze Anniversary) was coming up and was planning I had planned to shop a week or so before our 19th anniversary. I had already decided to get an antique from the bronze age from a local store here in Amsterdam but then a COVID lockdown went into effect for all non-essential stores. Now less than a week before our anniversary, I was in trouble. I found an item on Helios Gallery online but the trick is, would they be able to ship quickly enough. You bet! Rolf and crew totally saved me. Not only was it a great piece that she loved, but the packaging, protection, and shipping was top! Thank you very much!

Thank you Maximilian for you kind comment and your first purchase with us 🙂
I have known Helios Gallery since many years now and I am very grateful for their most trustworthy handling of unprovenanced material. The items stem from old collections and are well documented. As a professional Levantine archaeologist and curator of archaeological exhibitions I highly recommend Helios Gallery.

We recently purchased a beautiful Byzantine sgraffito bowl from Helios Gallery. It was everything we were hoping for and more. Service was friendly and efficient. Highly Recommended!
