Sigedon Books & Antiques: A Hub for Collectors and Curious Minds

Sigedon Books & Antiques

Sigedon Books & Antiques is a distinguished online shop specializing primarily in rare and antiquarian books. Our extensive collection includes periodicals, engravings, maps, manuscripts, and other valuable collectibles. Established on eBay in 2008, our store proudly continues the legacy of Naučni i bibliofilski antikvarijat – Orfelin [Scientific and Bibliophilic Antiquarian Book Store – Orfelin], which was founded in Belgrade in 1985. Our late founder, Predrag Milovanović, a devoted book enthusiast, possessed an unwavering passion for researching, acquiring, and safeguarding rare books. He regarded these literary treasures as integral to our national cultural history and a foundation of the broader cultural history of humanity and civilization as a whole.

Sigedon Books & Antiques swiftly earned its reputation as the largest and most extensively stocked store in the Balkans. Despite comprising merely a fraction of our founder’s immense private library, which boasts over 70,000 books, the store garnered recognition for its unparalleled selection. Initially focusing on books from former Yugoslavia and Balkan Peninsula countries, our inventory expanded over time to encompass valuable works in diverse languages such as Latin, German, French, English, Russian, and more.

Presently, we have further broadened our offerings to include philately items, posters, as well as historical and vintage photographs. Moreover, we take pride in providing complimentary professional opinions and appraisals for books, manuscripts, and prints. Our team of experts is at your disposal, ensuring you receive a comprehensive understanding of the value and significance of your treasured items.
