Have you ever had a hankering for owning some real old works of art? Phoenix Ancient Art makes this possibility easier than you might have thought.

The Aboutaam brothers, Hicham and Ali have made it one of their priorities to open up the world of antiquities to the general public and not only multi-millionaires or museum curators. Just take a gander at their web site Phoenix Ancient Art and see how easy it can be.

As a newcomer to the world of collecting antiquities, or even if you only want to dip your toes in and purchase one or two items, Hicham and Ali Aboutaam offer the following reassurances that you are not going where only the brave dare to go:

1. Provenance is established with the highest possible due diligence to guarantee that the chain of ownership has only and exclusively been passed down through reputable channels, in the open market and in accord with all applicable laws, internationally and locally.

2. Authenticity of each artifact is painstakingly established using scholarly analysis of the history and style of each piece. Some of the techniques used to establish authenticity of age are thermo-luminescence, carbon-14 dating, metallurgic and other s.

3. There is a money-back guarantee offered by Phoenix Ancient Art that the authenticity and its provenance is as described to the buyer. With these reassurances there is no reason not to jump into the wonderful world of owning ancient art.

It is autumn again and with the fall of the leaves and the cool air blowing, it is time to return to the annual International fine Art and Antique Dealers Show. We can expect some rare,

exquisite as well as strange objects to be on display, a true feast for the eyes.

Included among the more than 60 vendors of the high-end art trade will be Phoenix Ancient Art for their third consecutive year displaying the best of their collection. Brothers Ali and Hicham Aboutaam will anchor their booth with an impressive Roman period sculpture, sure to catch your eye. Standing larger-than-life, the green basalt carving depicts a muscular man’s torso in smooth, beautiful detail. The Aboutaams will bring along many antiquities from a large historical and geographical assortment including Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome and the Islamic world.

The Aboutaams have published a wonderful, full color catalogue including all the pieces on display at the fair. Come on down to the Park Avenue Armory at East 66th Street and Park Avenue and experience the beauty of the ancient and modern worlds through art and other objects, collectible and otherwise.
The fair will be held from October 16th until the 22nd. The Aboutaams and Phoenix Ancient Art hope to see you there.
