Every exhibit comes with a certificate of authenticity and awaits you in the gallery, so you can see it in person before you decide.
We will bring these exhibits in especially for you — the gallery manager will discuss timing and terms with you personally.
A RELICTUM manager will tell you about the available exhibits and select an option with your collection, interior and budget in mind. The fossils can be seen at the gallery. We will deliver large pieces and install them professionally on site.
Yes. Lots in this section: 15 — skeletons, skulls, teeth, claws and egg clutches. RELICTUM exhibits are sold legally and come with a provenance passport.
Prices in this section: from 150 000 ₽ to 15 000 000 ₽. A tooth or claw costs many times less than a skull, and a complete skeleton is the most expensive format: the price depends on species, size, preservation and the share of original bone.
The share of original bones in the skeleton. Missing elements are restored during preparation, and everything that has been restored is stated in the lot description.
Skeletons and large skulls are installed and mounted by RELICTUM or its contractor; the terms are agreed when the order is confirmed.
Dinosaur fossils for a collection or interior are chosen on three things: the share of original bone, the quality of preparation and the presentation. In large skeletons and skulls some elements are always restored, and it is important to know the honest percentage. Careful preparation preserves the texture of the bone and the sutures; rough work leaves the surface looking 'washed out'. The mount shapes the impression: a skeleton needs a well-designed steel armature, a single bone a low, stable stand. For a home, people more often choose a skull or a limb fragment; a complete dinosaur skeleton needs a spacious hall and viewing from a distance.
