To ensure your items are exposed to the widest market to achieve the best price, our service provides convenient local access to an international market with specialists in over 50 categories.

Bonhams is not only the world’s fastest growing auction house, it is also the world’s oldest and largest auctioneer of fine art and antiques still in British ownership. The name Bonhams is recognised worldwide throughout all sectors of the fine art, antiques and collectors market, and several of its departments are established world leaders within their fields. We cover a broad range of items, from paintings to motor cars and cycles, from books to porcelain and contemporary ceramics, jewellery to rivercraft and fine wines.

Bonhams conducts over 700 sales a year, more than any of its rivals worldwide. The company’s international fine art saleroom is located in London’s New Bond Street, while its other flagship London saleroom is in fashionable Knightsbridge, where sales are aimed primarily at the collectors’ market.
