Himalayan Works of Art

The sales are run by Arthur Millner, a specialist with more than 30 years experience in the auction world, as well as having spent time as a dealer in the field. He is on the vetting committees of several major art and antique fairs.

The sales include bronzes, ritual objects and Buddhist scroll paintings (thang-kas), which are increasingly sought after by international buyers. Works of art range from the early Indian-influenced works to the gilded bronze images produced under Chinese patronage during the Ming and Qing periods.
