Auctions from Petrides Auctions - Arts Quorum Ltd

Arts Quorum Ltd is operating since 1995 as an Architectural and Interior Design firm, later specializing in Architectural Model Making and Antique Restorations.

With a passion for Fine Arts and Antiques, in 2012 the Company got a LAPADA membership and in 2014 started conducting auctions after selecting Fine Art and Collectibles from Cypriot Heirlooms.

Respecting the local traditions and heritage, Petrides collections include artifacts mainly from the Levant, as well as European paintings, Asian Art, jewelry, watches, furniture, silver and 20^th century design.

Petrides premises are based in an Industrial Area 15Km from Nicosia center, providing ample exhibition rooms, parking and loading facilities.

Being a small and isolated country of less than a million inhabitants, Cyprus is a small but rich pool for collectibles. 

However the tradition of selling heirlooms is relatively new. Petrides is trying to bring a new approach to dealing with heritage objects, that in the local custom these would have been dumped due to lack of appreciation and knowledge.

Petrides goal is to upgrade the attitude of “recycling” “upcycling” and “collecting”.  Change the view that Antiques and collectibles are second hand, unwanted and dirty items.

Cultivate appreciation and respect to older artifacts – a culture already embedded in the people of most European countries.

Petrides mission is to carefully select worthy artifacts, give them lots of TLC, tell their story and exhibit them in a way that will make them desirable.
