The antiquities in the Princeton Collection were acquired primarily in the 1980's and 90's and brought to the US in 1998. They are numerous and varied and include an excellent selection of high quality Greek, Egyptian, Near Eastern, Holy Land, Chinese, and pre-Columbian art. The collector has now moved on to other interests and is in the process of divesting his antiquities collection. Here we present a number of excellent pieces from the collection along with cabinet images of others. Collectors who have an interest in pieces not individually listed are invited to inquire as to the particulars.Looking to sell - reasonable offers welcomed
