Sadigh Gallery's New Collection of Stegosaurus Eggs!


We are pleased to announce that we just acquired a small collection of Stegosaurus (Dinosaur) Eggs! This is surely a unique opportunity for us, as we concentrate on dealing in ancient antiquities and not paleolithic items (although we do have some collections of fossils).

FOR LIMITED TIME ONLY–we offer these eggs to you with Discounted Prices + Free Shipping!

We have only 20 of them…and believe us, they will go very fast!
Thisoffer is on the basis of first-come, first-served, so please contact us to place your order today. Call Sadigh Gallery Toll Free (800) 426-2007, or e-mailus at info@sadighgallery.com

Here is the sample picture of one of them:
 


Stegosaurus dinosaur egg from the Henan Provenance, China. 65 Million Years Old. Sizes are 3 1/2″ – 4″ .  It is known that many dinosaurs, including the stegosaurus, laid clutches of relatively small eggs in shallow holes scraped in the ground. They may have been covered with sand and left to hatch in the warmth of the sun. Once the eggs hatched, the young would have grown quickly as some measure of protection from predators. The young would have been further protected by remaining in the middle of the herd. As an animal that lived in herds, the stegosaurus probably would have fought to establish breeding rights and herd leadership.

Sadigh Gallery—Mail Order Antiquity Business


In the previous articles, we discussed about the characteristics of our gallery which make us one-of-a-kind in the highly competitive antiquities business.

Although we have a physical gallery in the heart of New York City which people can walk in at anytime during our business hours, we are mainly a mail-order company.   Because of this nature of our business, we have customers and various networks of dealers and collectors from everywhere in the United States and even overseas.  We often process a large volume wholesale trade with established dealers, but also work closely with individual collectors, schools and museums to fill their specific needs.

Along with a wholesale catalog, we hold 6 mail-in auctions every year. These auction catalogs feature pictures and prices of everything for many different cultures of the ancient world, and gives our customers a chance to purchase unique artifact at price as low as 50% of the listed amount.  Of course you would have to bid higher amount to outbid your competitors but this auction experience certainly makes antiquity collection more interesting. Most of our walk-in trade is catalog customers, some who happen to be in the neighborhood and others who travel from around the country to browse and touch the ancient pieces.

Here at Sadigh Gallery we enjoy dealing with people and hope to keep our gallery as down-to-earth and accessible as possible.  When you visit New York City, be sure to stop by at our gallery.  Even if you are on the other coast, feel free to call us so you will be able to view our collections through our catalogs!

Sadigh Gallery Ancient Art—New York City’s One-of-a-kind Ancient Artifacts Wholesale Dealer


We have been sharing our knowledge on the history of ancient artifacts and cultures for quite some time now, but at this time we would like to come to a brief pause…and instead, write briefly about history of our very own gallery.

Just what exactly is Sadigh Gallery Ancient Art, Inc?

If you have learned about us from the Smithsonian Magazine or any other cultural/history magazines, you may have seen from the ads that we are a wholesaler on antiquities.  We recognize that this fact perks up some interest in people, who must wonder how is it possible for us to wholesale something as valuable and unique as treasured antiquities from ancient societies? Are they not supposed to be collected and secured safely in museums?   We must admit we do receive many questions from our visitors. One of the reasons why a question like this is common, is perhaps because of the general notion that everything that ancient and found in archaeological digs are rare and, therefore, expensive.  Museums often make us think that way too, having pieces of ancient jewelries showcased behind highly guarded glass windows.   While some artifacts--such as ancient Egyptian sarcophagus fragments from funeral grounds of pharaohs-- are indeed exclusive and may cost well over thousands in auctions, most are not so as highly valued.   The reason of this is simple: People in ancient times generally lived the same way as we did although in much simpler ways. People had items that they would use daily, such as currency, jewelry, coins, and pottery.  These types of items were owned by common people were produced in mass numbers, and, these are the artifacts that we mainly deal with.   Ancient coins are maybe available from $20.00 and up.  Broken pieces of abundantly produced pottery or glass vessels can be purchased as low as $10 each.   Such items may not be diamonds yet they attribute historical values, and are popular among creative jewelers who would rearrange these finds in modern beautiful jewelry or ornamental settings.   Sometimes, the quality or the history of an artifact does affect the price.  For example: An ancient Egyptian ushabtis made of alabaster for higher officials which still retain clear hieroglyphs, is available for sale over $1000 range.   Even so we gladly offer discounts and chances for public to purchase exclusive items for lower prices during our bi-monthly auctions.

Sadigh Gallery has accumulated the collection of these artifacts over 30 years in New York, and even more—the family-owned gallery has been running for several generations.   In next update we will discuss farther about our unique antiquities business method, which can be categorized as a mail order business. 

In the meantime, feel free to visit our gallery website at: www.sadighgallery.com  to view our extensive collection of ancient artifacts.
