The auction is taking place on Monday 28th October and features a curated selection of over 200 artworks showcasing the mesmerising artistic variety and kaleidoscopic cultural heritage of these distant lands. From the Mediterranean shores, Near and Middle East, the Iranian plateau, all the way to Central and South Asia, the lots in the sale cover a span of over ten centuries of outstanding artistic achievements.
