In its ongoing quest to distinguish the merely excellent from the utterly sublime, Phoenix Ancient Art is proud to present Phoenicia, a series of publications designed to showcase the finest works of art from ancient Western civilization.
This catalogue, the inaugural volume of the series, presents a carefully selected group of twelve objects that are nothing less than extraordinary. Each piece represents the distillation of centuries of artistic output, embodying the refinement of craft and culture in their purest, rarest forms. These exceptional works, once the treasures of celebrated collectors such as Charles Gillet and the Baroness Cecile de Rothschild, are breathtaking in their character and quality—offering an unparalleled glimpse at the glories of the past.
