also the world's oldest and largest auctioneer of fine art and antiques

name is recognised worldwide throughout all sectors of the fine art,
antiques and collectors' market, and several of its departments are
already established world leaders within their category. Bonhams also
offers more sales worldwide than any of its rivals, through two
salerooms in London at New Bond Street and Knightsbridge --and a
further 11 regional salerooms throughout the UK. Regular Bonhams sales
are also held in Switzerland, Monaco, Germany and Australia, while the
acquisition of Butterfields - the principal auction house on the West
Coast of America --now provides Bonhams with salerooms in San
Francisco and Los Angeles. The company also operates a network of
offices and regional representatives providing sales advice and
valuation services in 14 countries around the world. Bonhams, one of
the few surviving Georgian London auction houses, was founded in 1793
by Thomas Dodd, a renowned antique print dealer, and Walter Bonham, a
book specialist. It expanded during the 1850's to handle all categories
of antiques including jewellery, porcelain, furniture, arms and armour
and fine wines, and today is active in no fewer than 70 sectors
embracing the entire spectrum of fine art, antiques and collectibles.
We seek, by our commitment to client service and integrity, to
establish Bonhams as the prime auction house of choice for buyers and
sellers worldwide."
