Hannah Solomon
Vice President, International Head of Department
New York
Hannah Solomon is the International Head of the Antiquities department. A lifelong New Yorker, Hannah joined the department in 2010 and oversees worldwide ancient art sales in New York, London and Paris. She has been responsible for a number of record-breaking results, including the sale of a Greek Bronze Helmet of Chalcidian Type that realized over $1 million in April 2017, and a Roman Marble Portrait Bust of the Emperor Didius Julianus that sold for over $4.8 million in April 2019. Most recently, Hannah organized the series of sales of Ancient Art and Arms and Armour from the Mougins Museum of Classical Art (December 2023–December 2024), which realized a combined total of nearly $19m, with the top lot — an important Roman Iron, Brass and Copper Helmet for Julius Mansuetus — selling for $1,260,000, a record for any Roman helmet at auction.
Hannah's passion for ancient art is cross-cultural, which led her to earn two master's degrees: one from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, with a focus on the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean; and another in the Arts of China from Christie's Education/University of Glasgow. Hannah's areas of specialty include Greek arms and armor, and Minoan and Mycenaean works of art.
