Sadigh Gallery Policy

While collecting ancient antiquities is often viewed as an expensive hobby, Sadigh Gallery attempts to revolutionize that view by offering artifacts at more affordable prices. Despite the impression that old things are more valuable, we believe that is not necessarily correct. Not all artifacts have the value of gold or diamond. For example, certain antiquities may be discovered among the burial grounds of commoners, or materials are simply not valuable from historical perspective. In such cases, the gallery offers their antiquities for less expensive prices. Some beautiful pieces that you may see behind the glass cases in museums can be purchased at as little price as a teenager’s allowances.

Also, we hold catalog auctions on bi-monthly basis.  Sadigh Gallery’s catalog auction, while there is no physical location for the event, works just like any other that takes place in regular live auction houses—the receivers of the catalog may bid their best price on the item that they wish to purchase and pray that their offer is accepted. If anyone else bids higher price on the same item, the first bidder will lose his chance to buy.  It is a fun and thrilling event as well as a great chance to buy an artifact with very reasonable prices.  The gallery takes bid prices starting from 50% of the listed prices.  This means that if an artifact’s regular price is $1,000, the bidder can place any prices from $500 to full amount.  If there is no higher competitor by the end of the auction closing date, the bidder can purchase his artifact with 50% discount!

Sadigh Gallery firmly believes that not all ancient artifacts should be locked away in museums, but also they should be more available to anyone with interest in ancient cultures and history. The gallery certainly makes it easier for private collectors, both amateurs and professionals, and institutions to enhance their collection by offering with lower prices on most of their artifacts.
