Store description

This is a family business. Our great-grandfather created it in 1913. Beginning from a small underground store in Avissinia Square, Athens, his passion was to buy and sell rare items. He imparted his knowledge to the next generations, and we are very happy to continue his legacy. Over the decades, the business grew, adapting to the changing times while staying true to its original purpose. In the mid-20th century, our grandfather expanded the store, sourcing unique antiques and collectibles from across Greece and beyond. By the 1970s, our parents introduced new categories of rare finds, including historical artifacts, vintage jewelry, and old manuscripts, making the shop a well-known destination for collectors and enthusiasts. Today, we continue to operate in a new base, maintaining the same dedication to quality and authenticity. While we preserve the traditional aspects of our trade, we have also embraced modern methods, including online sales and global sourcing. Our goal remains the same, to connect people with rare and valuable items that hold historical and cultural significance. As a family, we take pride in our history and remain committed to upholding the values of honesty, expertise, and passion that have guided our business for over a century.…
