In early 1992 Sue began her career as a professional dealer in
antiquities. She opened a retail gallery, Sands of Time Antiquities,
in Sydney, Australia buying and selling antiquities on a
professional level while providing guidance to new collectors and
working with select clients to enhance existing collections.
Upon relocating with her American husband to the USA in 1998, Sue
combined her information technology skills with her enthusiasm for
ancient art by establishing a web-based dot.com company offering
antiquities via the internet. In June 2000, Sue was one of the first
experts to sell ancient art through the prestigious
Sothebys.com
site, a newly established on-line Internet auction facility.
In 2001, Sue opened the Sands of Time Antiquities gallery in
Houston, TX and when the family moved to Washington DC in
2004, Sue relocated the gallery to the historic district of
Georgetown. The Sands of Time gallery stocks a wide variety of
objects in every price range, that date from between 4000BC to the
8th century AD. Geographically, they originate from Egypt, the Near
East and Europe and include objects fashioned from marble, bronze,
glass, gold, pottery and stone.
Those with a passion for anything
from Roman gladiators to Egyptian kings are likely to find something
of interest at the gallery. Restoration, appraisal, and professional
consulting services are also available to amateur and serious
collectors, dealers, scholars and museums worldwide.
Sue’s extensive market-related experience includes travel to
domestic and international markets and regular attendance of the
leading antiquity auctions in New York, London and continental
Europe.
Her contact with the international market is continually reinforced
by the interaction that takes place at the international Art Fairs
such as, BAAF in Basel (Switzerland),
BAAF in Brussels (Belgium) TEFAF in Maastricht (Netherlands)
home of the famous Roman bridge constructed by Augustus Caesar. In addition to attending auction and special
show offerings, Sue further provides active appraisal work and has
completed the accreditation program with the International Society
of Appraisers where she is an active member of good standing.
Sands of Time produces fully illustrated catalogues and brochures
featuring fine quality ancient art and represents an international
clientele at many of the major auctions throughout the world.
Sue is a member of good
standing in the following organizations:
- International Society of Appraisers
- Archaeological Institute of America
- American Research Center in Egypt
