The opening session of the sale presents a thoughtfully assembled selection of ancient art and antiquities drawn from Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Western Asiatic, and wider Near Eastern cultures.
The catalogue includes sculpture, objects connected with ritual and everyday life, 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 group of natural history specimens.
Timeline Auctions specialises in historical artefacts, with expertise ranging from Stone Age and Bronze Age material through Greek, Egyptian, Western Asiatic and Roman antiquities, as well as Viking, Saxon, Medieval, Post-Medieval, and Islamic works, alongside natural history.
Lots are catalogued with clear descriptions, historical context, and provenance information where available, and the sale is intended for collectors and institutions.
