This is a quality of ancient objects which can only be created by old-world expertise and the passage of time. It is especially noticeable in long-term, regular exposure to an artifact. Many collectors will doubtless have observed this gradual transformation in their own affections toward an artifact which soon becomes one of the most prized and cherished pieces in their collection, although the artifact may not have started out in that position.

Ancient charisma is the element which makes an artifact extraordinary.
With The Q Collection's recognition of the importance of this attribute, coupled with the ability to identify it, which many of the appraisers on our staff have been doing for their entire lifetimes, we are able to bring to market many heretofore unheralded artifacts which possess great value, but are priced at levels which don't even begin to approach the artifact's actual market value. The presence of charisma most definitely portends to authenticity as well. We have done an endless amount of sorting through thousands of objects which either are not ancient, or ancient but not charismatic. It is important to note that artifacts of the latter category are not objects of interest for The Q Collection.
