Russian and Greek Icons of the 17/18th centuries

Russian Icons of the 16th century and earlier are getting harder to find with prices in the auctions rising at every sale. The Russian Icons from the 17th and 18th centuries are still undervalued and would make a worthwhile investment, although we always suggest that you only buy Icons you know that you will be able to live with.
