Following the success of our inaugural sale earlier this June, our Islamic and Indian Art department is pleased to present their upcoming auction, Arts of India and the Islamic Lands, which is now live on our website. 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.
