At Minerva Gallery, authenticity is the cornerstone of everything we do.
Since 2008, we have specialized exclusively in Pre-Columbian art, offering collectors, institutions, and enthusiasts carefully vetted pieces of enduring cultural significance. Our commitment is not only to the beauty of ancient craftsmanship but to the integrity of provenance, scholarship, and verification.
Every object we offer undergoes a rigorous review process based on:
- Stylistic and material analysis consistent with known cultural traditions and archaeological finds.
- Comparative research against documented examples held in leading museum and institutional collections.
- Scientific testing (such as Thermoluminescence (TL) analysis) where appropriate, to verify age and composition.
- Provenance research, ensuring each work meets ethical and legal standards of acquisition and ownership.
We work closely with recognized experts and reference institutions to maintain the highest standards of authenticity and transparency. Our goal is to ensure that every piece we place in the hands of a collector represents an authentic link to the ancient world, worthy of appreciation and stewardship for generations to come.
Collectors can acquire from us with confidence, knowing that each piece is supported by careful documentation, available upon request, and backed by our unwavering commitment to integrity.
Discover with confidence. Collect with trust.
