If you share my great passion, I'm sure you'll find this to be a truly exciting story…

It all began at a young age. I collected various items, which I was constantly buying and selling. Over time, the quality of the items increased, and so did the value. By working with collectors, dealers, and auction houses worldwide, I learned that professionalism and customer service are fundamental elements. In the early days, I sold insignificant pieces. Today, I sell items that have changed the world. Thus, our philosophy: We Sell History.

My name is Alexander Bitar. As the founder and owner of Alexander Bitar History, I'm the key figure of the company. If you share my great passion, I'm sure you'll find this to be a truly exciting story…

I search the world for unique artifacts. I always strive to acquire the finest pieces in the world. Today, I look around our inventory, and frankly, I'm astounded by what I see. We have some of the most iconic and recognizable pop culture artifacts of all time. In contrast, we also have unique documents that have been handwritten and signed by some of history's most prominent figures, as well as remarkable artifacts owned by various historical world leaders.

On this website, you can view a selection of items that are exclusively offered for sale. Items that one perhaps couldn't believe were for sale. In short, it's mainly items connected to significant historical people and/or essential historical events. It's extremely rare, important, and iconic high-end historical artifacts that are guaranteed to be original.

The business was initially established in Stockholm in 2015. With time, an international clientele was proven – and today, we sell worldwide. In 2019, we established Alexander Bitar History in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, as we aimed to strengthen our presence in the United States. Who knows where the next step will take us? All we know is that we will do our very best to keep making history – by selling history.

  • Alexander Bitar History is an internationally acclaimed dealer of high-end and rare original historical objects. The variety is immense, ranging from a handwritten scientific manuscript by Albert Einstein to an iconic stage-used Fender guitar by Jimi Hendrix or even JFK's personal wristwatch. However, the lead word is always quality. Everything we sell is original, extremely rare, and of the highest international quality. These items would indeed be a highlight in first-rate museums all over the world. As members of The Manuscript Society and UACC, we are committed to providing excellent service and fostering long-term relationships with our clients. We offer important items that have changed the world as we know it today, thus our philosophy: We Sell History.

  • Historical items have been around for as long as history itself, but they haven't been viewed as a personal enjoyment or as investments until recent years. It's very seldom to invest in entirely unique and one-of-a-kind types of assets, as everything from business shares to gold bars is available in high quantities. For instance, by purchasing Ernest Hemingway's 1954 Nobel Prize medal, you can be assured that it's the only one of its kind in the world. That's a powerful selling point, as top collectors and investors want to purchase unique items.

    Another unique selling point of the items we offer is that their value is generally not affected by financial crises. We know from experience and public records that the value of high-end collectibles is increasing year by year. The reason is somewhat simple – there will always be wealthy individuals and those of high social standing who want nothing but the best. So when we talk about quality, it's not only in terms of the item being essential from a historical point of view but also solid from an investment standpoint.

    In brief, one could say that the items we offer are solid investments and incredibly important, remarkable, and game-changing historical pieces.

  • Authenticity is the most fundamental thing. We collaborate with leading experts in various fields to ensure that our products are fully authentic. The buyer will receive a signed and dated Alexander Bitar History letter of authenticity, guaranteeing the authenticity as described, with a lifetime guarantee that includes a full money-back warranty. Other documentation, such as third-party letters of authenticity and letters of provenance, will always be included if available.

  • Some of the items in our current inventory, along with a selection of previously sold items, are represented in the various categories on our website. Many of our clients have specific items in mind that they want to purchase; that's why Alexander Bitar History are offering the service of requesting a specific item. The fact is that the majority of our sales are a result of special requests. Whatever you need – let us know!

  • All items in our current inventory are professionally stored in a museum storage facility and will be shipped to the buyer in a secure and expedited manner via FedEx. Please note that no additional buyer's premium will be applied, nor will any shipping costs be incurred. We prefer wire transfer as a payment method.

  • Alexander Bitar History are always interested in buying rare and important historical items. If you have any items for sale, please make sure to contact us, and we can hopefully come to an agreement. If that's not the case, then we would be more than happy to provide guidance, as we also offer consultations. We always provide sellers with fair offers, and our interest is to purchase items with immediate payments.

  • An alternative to directly selling an item is to consign. Meaning that you send the item to us, we sell it on your behalf and take an agreed-upon commission percentage. The consignor receives the money within 10 days after the sale is completed. This is typically the act of an auction house, with the exception that we charge a significantly lower commission and have a much faster payout. Please note that consignment options are only available for items with a value exceeding $50,000 USD.

  • The identifications of our clients are strictly confidential. Personal information provided to us by our clients is treated highly confidentially, with no exclusions.

None of the personal information is stored on our website; therefore, we do not provide an online process for individuals to review and request changes to any of their personally identifiable information provided to us.

  • A portion of all proceeds sold by Alexander Bitar History will benefit the non-profit charity organization Alexander Bitar Foundation. ABF's primary mission is to preserve and strengthen historical heritage by, for instance, donating important historical relics to museums and various institutions. One of many examples took place a few years ago when ABF, in collaboration with a donor, donated a significant 1922 manuscript by Albert Einstein regarding the special theory of relativity to the Nobel Museum in Stockholm. ABF also works with charitable galas, including Gala One, amfAR, and the Andrea Bocelli Foundation.
