PICKUP IN RIMINI visit, conversation, hospitality
Come and get her.
We welcome you to our workspace in Rimini: you can see up close where the manuscripts are produced, learn about the materials, experience some of the steps in the process firsthand, and talk with us.
Time to chat.
No rush: we take the time to talk about the work, the history of the manuscripts, and the craftsmanship choices. It is a personal encounter, made up of questions, stories, and details that cannot be grasped online.
Invitation to lunch or dinner.
Let's conclude with a peaceful and convivial moment: you are our guest for lunch or dinner at a selected restaurant, to celebrate your purchase together with the famous hospitality of Romagna.
UNBOXING the thrill of discovery
Home delivery and the pleasure of surprise, independently. Open, discover, experience the thrill of unboxing, with the peace of mind of the right of withdrawal and a 24-month warranty.
VIP DELIVERY: a museum in your home, just for you
Imagine the moment when we ring your doorbell: not a hurried courier, not a pushy salesperson, but the Administrator or an Antiquus Executive who comes to deliver a masterpiece to you in person, congratulate you, and turn your purchase into a memory.
We place the work in its packaging on the table; we open the case, the paper breathes, a scent of leather and library pervades the air, gold emerges. On the red ribbon you read: “Remove Before Reading.” Every gesture is designed for one thing: to bring you and your work together in the right way.
From here, the experience takes the form you desire, without changing its essence: a carefully curated, guided, memorable encounter.
PRIVATE: A moment of intimate reflection
If you choose intimacy, we let time shrink around you. We open a key page, remain silent for a few seconds, then point out the details that say more than a thousand words: the stroke, the gold leaf, the rhythm of the copyist. It is a personal, precise, and repeatable ritual: we show you the confident gesture for consulting, the two details that make the difference, the right way to close it. You truly reclaim it.
IN THE FAMILY: Authentic sharing
If you prefer sharing with your family, the scene naturally expands. We invite you to observe, ask questions, and choose “your own detail.” The presentation becomes a dialogue, the work unites generations and curiosity; in a few minutes, your home is transformed into a small cultural salon. We leave you with a clear mini-guide, so that beauty remains accessible and protected.
WITH FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES: The lasting “WOW” effect
With friends, the atmosphere becomes convivial without losing its rigor. We explain the origin, the print run, and the iconic uniqueness of a page; we show why this piece looks so good right here. If you wish, we can position the display case immediately: we check the lighting, the passageways, and the perspective. It's the “wow” moment that doesn't end in the evening: it remains, like a new centerpiece in your home.
IN ASSOCIATION: A mini-conference
When invited to an association or club, we bring the museum and dialogue to where relationships thrive. We set up in a few minutes, explain clearly, answer questions; the work is displayed safely, with the same care it would receive in an institution, but with the warmth of a gathering of people.
In any case, the direction is simple and discreet: we lead, you live the experience. In the end, what remains is practical guidance on how to consult and preserve the work, the certainty of having given it a fitting home, and the clear feeling of owning it twice—with your hands and with your mind.
With Antiquus VIP Delivery, you don't just receive a work of art: you experience a private, tailor-made presentation. We accompany you page by page, showing you details invisible to the hurried eye—the precision of the lines, the depth of the gilding, the small choices made by the copyist that reveal a hand, a school, an era. It is not a lesson: it is a story. We talk with you, answer your questions, and show you how to handle and store the work safely. If you wish, we will install the plexiglass display case and place it in the perfect spot in your living room or study. There, every day, beauty will dialogue with your home.
Everything is simple. We have agreed on a precise date and time; the work has been inspected, packaged, and insured. We bring certificates, accessories, and everything else required by the edition with us. The “practical” part is discreet and immediate: you can complete the payment by POS or, if you prefer, in cash within the limits of the law, or you can have already arranged everything by bank transfer.
This experience lasts just the right amount of time—usually 30-60 minutes—but it stays with you. There is a special pleasure in seeing an important work of art enter your home in the right way: without haste, without anonymous passages, with the attention it deserves. It is a cultured and enjoyable ritual: the work of art is the absolute protagonist.
If you are considering a gift, VIP Delivery makes it unforgettable: dedicated packaging, personalized card, private presentation. If you are building a collection, it is the most natural way to start a new chapter. In any case, it is the ultimate shopping experience we can offer you.
