Seller's Story
Welcome to Antiqora, the place where history and beauty go hand in hand. The name, a fusion of antique and fora, reflects my mission: to create a dynamic platform where unique antiques and art objects are given a new life. As a young trader with a passion for the past, I search for special pieces & objects with character, a story and a timeless aesthetic. Antiqora is about more than just trade; it is a journey of discovery into craftsmanship and heritage, with the aim of making these treasures shine again in the present.
