With the discerning collector in mind, we have created the most refined and accessible way to explore these exceptional pieces through our dedicated website. Offering high-resolution photography that reveals the true condition of each object, together with detailed professional descriptions, the site provides enthusiasts and connoisseurs with an unparalleled experience of discovering museum-quality antiques from the comfort of their own space.
Who We Are
We are a specialized team of expert antiquarians, dealers, and consultants with decades of combined experience in the history of art, fine horology, and the conservation of historic monuments. Each member of our team is affiliated with leading European museum institutions and adheres to the highest ethical and scholarly standards when evaluating and selecting pieces for our collection.
Drawing on the profound expertise of Professor Bogdan, we meticulously curate a magnificent selection of antiques sourced over the past fifty years. Many of these objects come as complete matching garnitures in pristine condition, originating from authorized and documented European provenances. Our rigorous selection process ensures that every piece offered meets the strictest criteria of authenticity, historical significance, and preservation quality.
About the Collections
Royal Antique takes particular pride in presenting one of the most desirable selections of antiques adorned with malachite, alongside an extensive archive of exceptionally well-preserved clocks and timepieces spanning several centuries. Our collection highlights masterpieces from the golden eras of French and European horology, including the Louis XIV, Regency, Louis XV, and Louis XVI periods, as well as the Directory, Empire, Napoleon III, and Art Deco styles.
These legendary objects -many of which are full sets or important signed examples by renowned makers-are presented on our website with comprehensive scholarly descriptions and unretouched photographs that honestly reflect their actual state of preservation. Whether you are drawn to the opulent grandeur of malachite-mounted Empire clocks, the refined elegance of Louis XVI cartel clocks signed by masters such as Gribelin, or the technical brilliance of Boulle marquetry pieces, our collection offers rare opportunities to acquire authentic historical treasures.
We are always delighted to answer any questions regarding the pieces featured on our website and to provide additional documentation, provenance details, or condition reports upon request.
