The opening session of the sale brings together a carefully chosen group of ancient art and antiquities from across the ancient world. Artworks from Ancient Egypt, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Western Asiatic, and wider Near Eastern cultures, reflecting the breadth of civilisations represented.
The catalogue includes sculpture, objects of ritual and everyday use, metalwork, jewellery, and related artefacts. These are complemented by sections of prehistoric material, arms and armour, Viking, Saxon and Germanic objects, Medieval and Post-Medieval works, and a small selection of natural history specimens.
Timeline Auctions specialises in historical artefacts, with experience covering material from the Stone Age and Bronze Age through Greek, Egyptian, Western Asiatic, and Roman antiquities, as well as Viking, Saxon, Medieval, Post-Medieval, and Islamic works, alongside natural history.
