Aleric & Co.

Welcome to my online shop, and thank you for taking the time to explore my selection of ancient treasures. My fascination with intaglios and cameos began around the age of 12 when my mother gifted me a citrine intaglio that had once belonged to my grandfather. This intaglio depicted, as my mother relayed, a portrait of his favourite hunting dog, inscribed as “Flirt.”

​

The idea that someone could craft such intricate detail into a hard stone astounded me. That very stone remains with me to this day. My passion for the glyptic arts only intensified, leading me from a young age to specialise in intaglios and cameos from Ancient Greece and Roman Civilisations. Over the years, both private collectors and esteemed museums have acquired pieces from my collection. I hope you find these gems as captivating as I do.
