Bidder Reviews for Arte Antico (65)

Very Careful shipper

PNG mask purchased was a cheap tourist trinket and NOT authentic art. Very disappointed in the quality control of this auction house. I question the two tumis purchased as well if they are real or reproductions. Buyer beware of fakes!

Great item perfectly described. Great packing. Very reasonable shipping costs. Quick shipping.

From start to finish, it was easy and fun

As a part of LiveAuctioneers, Arte Antico's buyer's premium is on the higher side at 25 %. Once you add in shipping and handling fees (which tend to be on the higher side as well), 10 % credit card surcharges, and sales tax, where applicable, the final price can nearly double from the final bid price. For that reason, I tend to be very cautious when bidding on items from some of the LiveAuctioneers auction houses.

They offer in house shipping which is a big plus for me.

Good sculpture, fast delivery

I’ve bought from ArteAntico numerous times, & I’m always thrilled with my purchases

EXCELLENT

Owner, Mr. Acosta, quickly and politely answered all my questions. A very knowledgeable person who I would definitely buy from for ancient antiquities at an excellent price and shipping was in-house. Unlike some experts in NY who never answer their phones. Kudos for running a wonderful auction house! Thank you!

Great in-house shipping!

Overpacked and overcharged for my small item. Double boxed my small 5 inch rather solid clay figure into boxes larger than necessary. Charged an NC sales tax which no other auction house has done. Two of my three emails to them recieved no response.

I thought I was professionally treated and I got superior value relative to what I spent.

Very good auction house, highly recommended. Douglas is a great guy, very knowledgable, honest and dependable! Items arrived promptly and safely, very well-packed. Five Stars!

Wonderful dealing with this auction house. Very fair pack and ship price. Item is exactly as described. Very responsive on some small issues. Everything was first rate.

Great transaction-many thanks!

Reputable house but shipping cost needs to be more realistic. We ship regularly and find the cost to us is almost always 50 % to 70 % higher than true cost. Why?

Douglas Acosta is the best!

Bon suivi pour l 'é tranger. Arte Antico is perfect. Dommage qu'il y est des taxes de Douanes tr è s exag é r é pour ces objets.

A pleasant, easy experience. Ante Artico is a trustworthy organization that provides great products and service!

My package went to the wrong house thru FedEx problem and luckily went back to auction house and I received it intact. Thank you Arte Antico. I will use you again!
