About Us

Athenaeum Fine Art & Antiques offers a carefully curated selection of fine and decorative art, rare books, manuscripts, prints, sculpture, and works of decorative art spanning antiquity through the nineteenth century. Based on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and drawing upon more than twenty years of professional, academic, and collecting experience in New York and London, we bring scholarly rigor, connoisseurship, and careful documentation to every object, with a particular focus on the rich intersection of the Classical tradition and European culture.
