Islamic Works of Art
The sales are overseen by expert Arthur Millner, who has more than 30 years' experience, is on the Islamic vetting committees of several major art and antique fairs and also lectures on the subject. In 2015, his well-received book, Damascus Tiles, was published.
The sales take place in the Autumn and Spring and include metalwork, ceramics, textiles and paintings from all parts of the Islamic world, from Morocco in the west, through the Middle East, Persia and Central Asia to muslim China and South East Asia in the East. Objects range in date from the early centuries of Islam to the early 20th century at a wide range of price levels.
Arthur has been joined by Nicholas Shaw, who specialises in Islamic manuscripts and Persian painting. The department is also supported by highly experienced consultants and administrators.
