Very special items, promptly sent
I won some unique items of high quality. I was pleased with the excellent in-house packing and shipping. It made a huge difference to have all that taken care of at a reasonable price!!

Poor authority of quality and authenticity
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!

Nice items, but fees add up quickly
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.

Excellent Reputable Auction House
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!

Arte Antico does the basics but they're not quite on top of their game.
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.

Sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our service. Please note that we prefer to "over pack" to prevent breakage. As to the NC sales tax, Live Auctioneers collects sales tax for all states. If you file a tax exemption cerficate with Live Auctioneer they will not charge you the sales tax. Thank you for participating in our auction. Arte Antico
