Kingdom Of Marion
An ancient legacy…
The decision to name the company "Marion Ancient Art" was inspired by Alexis’ strong familial ties to Cyprus. The ancient Cypriot Kingdom of Marion, located in the northwest of Cyprus is renowned for its extensive finds of ancient art, including both locally crafted pieces and imports from neighbouring civilizations such as Greece, Egypt and Rome. Marion represents a powerful symbol of Cyprus' rich cultural heritage. By naming the company after Marion, Alexis seeks to pay homage to his ancestry and to share the captivating stories and timeless beauty of ancient art with the world.
