The Collection

The Likoudis Collection.

Curated objects, art, and editions, assembled with a single curatorial intelligence behind it. Hand-painted icons, ceramics, textiles, olive-wood, and small heritage pieces. Most categories forthcoming. Vintage by appointment.

A Note

The Collection holds work the family has acquired and chosen to offer onward. Hand-painted Byzantine icons. Greek ceramics from named producers. Olive-wood objects. Worry beads. Limited art editions. Vintage and antique pieces by appointment.

This is not a division of the house in the proper sense. It runs adjacent to the five divisions, on its own slower clock. The catalogue is forthcoming. What follows is the shape of what will be there.
