About Talaria Enterprises...
We measure our success by your happiness!

Are you ready for some culture? Eureka! Your adventure starts right here at TalariaEnterprises.com Museum Store!

In 1997, we had an idea...there must be others out there like us who want to learn about past cultures by having tangible and portable reproductions for their homes and offices, but have difficulty finding pieces for their collections. And we were right! As TalariaEnterprises.com, we have shipped to thousands of customers worldwide--all of whom share a similar passion for history and lost eras, culture, travel, quality merchandise, and superior customer service. museum reproductions from around the world

Headquartered in Glendora, California, TalariaEnterprises.com is ecstatic to offer you, art lovers, our competitively priced high quality museum reproductions. Online since 1997, our collection boasts over 1,000 items and is constantly growing! You can't find this selection and service anywhere else! It is our goal to please both the experienced art collector and the general gift shopper. And why is this our goal? It’s simple. We love art!

Where do we find our artworks? We visit many markets and manufacturers around the world in search of the widest selection of reproductions. You might spot us at a storefront in Pompeii or a Paris manufacturing warehouse looking for a new item, which will fascinate our customers. We enjoy being your leading art reproduction specialist and search the world over in our travels to bring the best reproductions to you at the best value.

Our array of art reproductions vary in material – from compound stone and plaster for indoor use in your home décor to resin, crushed stone and fiberglass for exterior use in your garden décor -- and in size ranging from 3 inches tall to over 6 feet high. Some are licensed reproductions from the foundations, galleries, and museums where the originals are exhibited such as: the British Museum, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the Vatican Library, the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, and even the Louvre in Paris. Others are timeless copies, which convey the same historical authenticity but are adapted into useful, stylish, and functional home décor such as bookends, table bases, display-stands, lamps, pens, mouse pads, or jewelry boxes.

Initially, we took the approach of offering sculpture reproductions because we found there were few sources offering a comprehensive selection, which spanned the ages and an array of different cultures. Passionate about conveying a history of many diverse peoples from around the world, we dove into our quest to bring Archeology alive and the Mystery of the Museum into the homes of our customers. Our goal has always been to please and to educate. Our customers come from many different venues – from universities, museums, and corporations, to the retail sector of decorators, designers, landscapers, lawyers, homemakers, travelers, and educators. Many of our pieces have gone on to bask in the limelight of Hollywood by either appearing in film, television or at Disneyland itself!

art historian, curator, nina, art historical informationFor our curator, we have Nina Christensen (M.A.), an art historian and college instructor, who has the scholarly experience to guide us with our selection. Nina has a Master of Arts in Art History with an emphasis on the Roman Era and and now teaches art history at a local college. Nina is instrumental in identifying our artworks with their proper cultural, mythological, and political significance. Under her direction, each artwork is researched and identified with a description/provenance card so as to pass along a rich understanding of the historical value of the artwork to you, our customers. We also publish a monthly newsletter about artists and cultures represented in our collection.

The history of sculpture reproductions – and its significance within many earlier eras – was examined in length in the book, "Sculpture and Its Reproductions," edited by Anthony Hughes and Erich Ranfft. The contributors highlighted many significant contributions of “copies” and noted that “reproduction has always been at the heart of sculptural practice”. The Romans were thought to have developed a taste for Greek Sculpture from admiring the hundreds of ancient statues brought back home as booty by their victorious armies, and to have preferred Greek copies to originals by their own artists. From the Renaissance onwards, ancient sculptural fragments were collected, restored, and given currency by means of many reproductive processes. So it is through studying “copies” that we can better understand our history and our present age.

We take our commitment to bringing lost culture alive very seriously. And we prize you, our customer, like the cultural antiquities we sell. Our customer service revolves around understanding your needs and fulfilling your requests. From our personal customer service to our timely shipping, we aspire to give your requests a “white glove treatment”.

customer testimonials about our superior serviceOver the past four years, we have received many testimonials about our artworks and our superior customer service.

Here is what some of them say...

"I have received the sculpture and I am pleased with not only the piece, but with your entire process; the information I received from Nina was very helpful, the expedient manner in which you filled my order, the care and quality in the shipment and packaging, and the timeliness in which I received my order, all met or exceeded my expectations. Thanks for not gouging me on the shipping as so many businesses do. I will definitely order more pieces from you. Thanks and good luck in your business." -- Brian, USA

"Great service from your company. The "Dying Gaul" arrived safely. Many thanks, from a customer." -- Monique in France

"I received shipment of both pieces of art on Monday 14.5.2001. They are fabulous, and have survived the transit without any effect. I expect you will be receiving enquiries from friends after they have seen it! Thank you very much for all your efforts. And best of luck on your endeavours." -- Customer in Malaysia

"I am delighted with the quality of the Nike I ordered. Frankly, I ordered with a bit of skepticism, wondering what I'd get! The statue is beautiful!!!!!!" -- Kay in USA

"We have received the wall hanging of Athena Nike, and it is very nice. We are very happy with it, as well as the service Talaria gave us. We thank you very much." -- Jan in USA

"I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality of service and prompt replies your company has exhibited. Perhaps because I've lived in Asia (6 years) for so long I've resigned myself to thinking "customer service" was a concept that used to exist! Thank you so much for your assistance." -- Marshall in Manila
