"Murano glass pendant light, extremely fragile. Perfect delivery, delayed due to the replacement of two broken crystal drops during preparation, which were remade identically (cut at an angle). The preparation of the 3 packages is beyond reproach: - high-quality reinforced cardboard, nothing like standard boxes. - each crystal drop individually wrapped in crepe paper then bubble wrap - packages generously filled with shock-absorbing materials - careful and respectful carrier (no damage to any of the 3 packages). The email exchanges are a model of quality for tracking an online order. I was kept informed in real time of every step, in a courteous and professional manner. The customer service is exemplary."

"What a wonderful experience at Atena! The gallery offers a wide range of treasures in Art Nouveau, classic French Salon Style, and so on. The collection scope is very focused and all the works of art are professionally selected in top class standards. This time in Atena, I am lucky enough to find a precious alabaster nude sculpture, which I have been looking for years. One more thing I should mention is, all the art works are in excellent condition, and well preserved by the owner. All in all, great communication, excellent shopping experience, will come back again. Very unique gallery in Paris with exquisite antiques!

This is a most exquisite delicate piece, and damage as can occur to such rare pieces will do so during shipping. Leaving aside its monetary value (any such damage will be covered by insurance) it is obvious that the vendor appreciates the intrinsic timeless beauty of the piece - and what it represents - as the packaging ensured it would survive the roughest handling undamaged. As it did."

"Hello Mr. Sioufi, I still remember that memorable evening when I discovered your sculpture. An iconic silhouette, easily recognizable even with a quick glance at your new acquisitions. I often found myself contemplating this sculpture and, at the same time, keeping an eye on sales, but despite the various existing models, they are few and far between, or only available at auction. This also explains why, and particularly regarding this piece, I had some experience with the differences it could present. Finally, your gallery had one. I had to seize the opportunity! Yet, nothing was guaranteed! On the one hand, there's the passion, but also the financial aspect, which is not insignificant either! Then doubt creeps in: did I do the right thing by embarking on this adventure? Especially now, in this somewhat tense and uncertain period. You will read elsewhere that this doubt quickly dissipates. I received the package last night, perfectly wrapped; I only understood what it was when I saw the sculpture." The origin of the "fragile" designation. Some pieces are added later, which accentuates its fragility. The discovery wasn't immediate, but it remains a source of indescribable joy. After careful unpacking, certain details began to appear, for example, the tip of the sword and later the dragon's claws; finally, the entire sculpture was revealed to me. It takes time for the eye to grasp the subtleties and the finesse of the details because, yes, Emmanuel Frémier was indeed an artist with a keen eye for detail. The French language has a rich vocabulary, yet sometimes, it must be said, one can't always find the right words. What can I say about the spurs! They are simply sublime! Indeed, they enhance the object with their presence, perfectly complementing it, and the quality of the finely executed craftsmanship is simply impressive, worthy of a great artist. You can congratulate him on my behalf. As you pointed out, one mustn't let oneself I was influenced by the photos, because in reality, the result is even better. To the question, "Was the restoration worth it?" Yes, without any hesitation! I also know that I'm not an easy customer, and for that reason, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your patience and your accommodating offer, which allowed me to acquire this item. A big thank you to you and your wife. Sincerely.

"Dear Frederic, I have been in a rarified state for hours, ever since the paintings were delivered. The kind of fanciful reverie that sometimes happens in the presence of beauty…including beautiful works of art. Why, I wonder, was I so unfamiliar with his work? I don't recall ever seeing paintings that capture more tenderly moments of shared love embodied within the domestic tranquility of interiors so detailed and so well rendered they rival Rembrandt and Vermeer. And, just think! I don't have to go to the Louvre to see them. You have made it possible for me to gaze upon these Van Den Eycken masterpieces in my own home. Indeed, they are already hanging in the living room as I can't possibly express my gratitude.

"When I first visited the Galerie Atena at the Louvre des Antiquaires, located just behind the Louvre Museum, my attention was immediately drawn to the lifelike bronze statues, and it was like a celebration. Every time I go to Paris, I visit the different locations of the Galerie Atena: the gallery near the Élysée Palace, the refined villa in the quiet outskirts of Paris, and the luxurious Napoleon III-style apartment. Wandering through the forest of antique and precious objects, time flies by, and one is utterly captivated, imagining what the residences of the nobles of that era might have looked like. The gleaming clocks, the still-glittering wooden cabinets, the elegant caskets, and the marble columns from old and important houses—every part of these objects tells the stories of the 18th and 19th centuries. At midday, the clocks placed on the tables, in the cabinets, and hung..." The clocks on the walls all tell the time at once, creating such a wonderful scene. Every time I touch the bronze statues at home, I feel as if Mr. and Mrs. Sioufi are right beside me, whispering the story of each object. I miss Paris again.

"Hello Ms. Sioufi, Last night, I left a message to let you know that the package had arrived safely. What a discovery! It took me a good thirty minutes to free the beautiful statue from its cardboard sarcophagus; the packaging was substantial, you do things by the book. And then, total amazement, it appeared before me in all its splendor. After placing it on the chest of drawers, it is very discreet thanks to its beautiful patina, and from certain angles it even appears gilded, but once your eyes are drawn to it, you can't see anything else. I truly feel as if it was made just for that spot. At the very beginning of our correspondence, I confess I had some apprehension, but in the end, I don't regret my choice. I also thank you for the dictionary of sculptors; the preface is very interesting because it explains the casting process—I'm thrilled! Best regards."

"Good morning Madam, Good morning Sir, The package has just arrived, in perfect condition and complete. I wanted to thank you very much for your diligence and for the care taken in preparing this delivery. The jam dish perfectly matches my wishes, and ultimately, it is even better with ten small spoons, allowing one to fully contemplate the union of the two ancient figures."

"Dear Frederic, Well, she arrived a few hours ago, safe and sound. As expected, she is a beauty. The young lady is not only beautiful she has a "presence", if you know what I mean. What a perfect, timeless young face to welcome all who enter the foyer. Now that she has taken up residence it seems as if that space has been waiting for her arrival. I will take a picture and send it to you later this week."

She is now sitting in a place of honor in our main residence quietly ticking away in perfect harmony with our other clocks. M. and I very much enjoyed working with you and Nidal. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for the two thoughtful calls you made to me and we are looking forward to doing business with you again. Kind regards."

"Hello Frédéric, The clock arrived in perfect condition thanks to your excellent packaging! It's very impressive, a masterpiece of the Restoration style and of a quality absolutely on par with the best Empire and Consulate periods. I particularly love the little dolphins, so typical of the 1820s. I haven't attached the pendulum yet. When everything is done, we'll send you a photo of the new home of the Tiber god. For now, I can only thank you for your patience. Best regards."
