YOU ARE HERE:>> REAL or FAKE>Fake Greco- Roman statues.![]()
While browsing images of classical statues I saw this one.. ![]() The one on the left below is in The Louvre museum. The two on the right below look rather similar don't they? ![]() So where does this photo come from? ![]() Here! On a number of different marketing websites for this gallery ![]() ![]() But if you look on his website you won't find that one, but another very similar one. This one. ![]() Interestingly, another very close to this one can be found here on another website Also $1500
![]() By the same hand wouldn't you say? In fact, same production line at the factory?
![]() Back to the Sadigh website we can also find this one sold together with a (fake) oil lamp: $6000
![]() But on the other website you can buy this one (same piece!) for $2000 more ![]() And this one is indeed very much like the one we first saw!
![]()
But also the very same piece we first saw is there on that website!
![]() Compare. It is the same piece. ![]()
Should one be surprised that these appear for sale on two different websites? Not really: look at who signs the certificates of authenticity.
![]()
Though Mr Sadigh never provides particularly large and clear images the other seller (if indeed the 'other' seller is a diferent person) does often provide enlarged photos. So we can have a closer look to see what ancient marble does not look like.
![]() They are all of course modern pieces and from the same workshop.
![]() While we are about it we might as well take a look at that lamp one version of the torso statue is offered with. Comes in several "finishes" from the supplier.
![]() ![]() It has clearly been inspired by the 'Burney Relief' in the British Museum
