Hello to everyone in the forum,

I won 3 bids in Catawiki that I haven't paid yet but I'm worried by everything I read about them possibly being fake...
Could you help me with these doubts ? Thanks in advance

The 1st one, (Eros and Capricorn), is sold by Praetorians-Exclusive Antiquities in Germany, the 2nd by SPQR in the UK, the 3rd (black glass Aphrodites's bust) by Antique Shopping in the Nederlands.

Like Mark Twain said about lies, there are plain lies and there are DAMN lies. In antiquities and jewelry there are fakes and there are DAMN fakes, with these three certainly amongst the latter. Waste not thy holiday money upon such crap from the aforementioned shysters.

Suggest form letter sent out en masse to all these shyster internet sellers of crapola. Phony everything everywhere, and they don't give a s*** because they get their "cut" regardless. Knickers in a a twist after realizing most everything you've purchased in 2024 doesn't predate 2023? Catadiki, ebay, etc. will give you your money back and inform the crooked merchant to peddle it to someone else. Problem solved as far as they care.
