Bonhams Islamic & Indian Art department holds the auction world record for any Indian and Islamic work of art. We have two annual live auctions during London's Islamic Art Week in Spring and Autumn, and two online auctions a year. We offer a wide range of works of art representing the diverse and rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world, including manuscripts and works on paper, ceramics, metalwork, textiles and arms and armour from the 7th - 20th centuries.
Our sales also feature works from India's finest artistic traditions: from Rajput, Mughal and Sikh miniature paintings to Buddhist, Jain and Hindu sculpture, as well as jewellery and jade from India's royal courts.
Auctions held in our state-of-the-art salerooms attract bidders from all over the globe, with some significant and historically important pieces gaining press attention and achieving record prices, such as The Bedchamber Sword of Tipu Sultan. Works sold in our auctions frequently find a home in world-renowned museums and institutions, or in esteemed private collections.
