Bonhams have been market leaders in Japanese Art since the department's first auction in 2007, highlighted by the sale of the Szechenyi Collection, the most successful auction of Japanese art ever held in Europe. Every year, Bonhams has achieved impressive results in the category and often world record prices, particularly for netsuke and inro, ceramics as well as Meiji Period metalwork, lacquer and cloisonné enamel.
The London auctions at Bonhams draw collectors, curators and dealers from all around the world, featuring objects assembled, catalogued and researched by internationally-renowned specialists who offer over 100 years of combined expertise in the field.
