In addition to the Gallery in Milan, opened in 1999, Antik Arte & Scienza has also had a channel for online sales: on this site it is possible to buy, in fact, nautical antiques, astronomical instruments, globes and antique world maps, antique compasses, measuring instruments, vintage medical instruments and related to natural history. We know how it is important to offer secure and easy on-line purchases and therefore we have decided to offer free shipping and free insurance. All objects have an accurate and safe packaging, and when necessary also a padded wooden box made to measure. Shipping is insured by Lloyd's London, and you have 28 days to change your mind and return the bought items (see our general selling conditions for more information about return methods).
