Edgar L. Owen, Ltd.

An online dealer in antiquities, ancient coins and world art, run by Edgar L. Owen from Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey. The firm says it was established in 1984 and calls itself a premier gallery with over 12,500 customers, museums and university collections among them, and every piece vetted by at least two experts¹. It keeps no physical gallery and issues no printed catalogues, which it gives as the way it holds overhead down¹.

Stock is arranged by culture and type. The Near Eastern page has a Cypriot menu entry and an Ancient Cypriot Art heading². The one piece shown, reference 8675, is a very large bichrome amphora (the listing is also titled a pithos) of the Cypro-Archaic period, 750-600 BC, intact, 20 by 26 inches. The firm prints a provenance for it: acquired in Cyprus in 1865-1873 by Luigi Palma di Cesnola, "possibly" the Metropolitan Museum of Art, then sold at auction by Harmer Rooke Galleries in 1996. The listing is marked sold^2,3. A separate collection page lists "various Cypriot types" among large amphorae, Roman red ware and bronze vessels⁴.

The firm also held an online auction, Antiquities and World and Fine Art, on 10 September 2014, with 93 lots⁵.
