The Old World Trader is central Missouri's ONLY source of authentic ancient artifacts.

ANCIENT ARTIFACTS: Greek, Roman, etc.

The Old World Trader's selection of authentic ancient artifacts represents a broad span of early civilizations. Inventory routinely changes, but we typically have an assortment of ancient Roman artifacts such as weapons, tools, jewelry, glassware and pottery. Our Greek pieces include exquisite pottery (as only the Greeks could do) and a museum-quality example of a hoplite spear. Egyptian artifacts are always difficult to obtain, but we generally have a few examples from old collections. The substantial collection of Chinese ceramics spans thousands of years. The Old World Trader also offers a selection of terra cotta oil lamps from the Holy Land. You may also find other pieces from ancient Africa, Luristan, Indus Valley, Mesopotamia, the Americas, and Northern Europe.

All of our ancient artifacts are guaranteed for satisfaction and authenticity.
