caves of southern France.

Egyptian Reliefs Reproductions

• All Egyptian reliefs were painted. Pigments were mostly

mineral, chosen to withstand strong sunlight without fading.

Egypt's extremely dry climate. The paintings were often

made with the intent of making a pleasant afterlife for the

deceased.

• The themes included journey through the afterworld or

protective deities introducing the deceased to the gods of

the underworld.

We have a passionate love for ancient art and consider the antiquity to be the most creative

and artistic period of human civilization. We have invested countless of years in collecting

authentic ancient artifacts and recreating the most impressive ancient masterpieces by

utilizing the same techniques employed by the original artist’s centuries ago.

Our ever growing collection of handmade art of unsurpassed quality and lasting beauty has

already become centerpiece of many great home, office, and garden collections. Our clients

come from all walks of life – from private individuals who commissioned art for their estates, to

interior designers, architects, businesses, and churches who want to reclaim the ancient

elegance. We can hand-replicate any sculpture, mosaic, icon and painting requested and unlike other Internet stores, we welcome commission work. Also unlike other Internet stores

which simply sell mass produced imitations imported from third world countries, we give

personal touch to every piece we make. We do not import products made of plaster that give

cheep and kitsch look and feel to the product as soon it is touched and lifted like a feather.
