Bonhams Achieves Record £78 Million in Chinese and Himalayan Art Sales in 2025

In 2025, Bonhams achieved remarkable success in its Chinese Works of Art and Himalayan Art sectors, with total sales surpassing £78 million (around US$105 million). The auction house solidified its position as a leader in the UK and Europe, while its Scandinavian collaborator, Bukowskis, excelled in that market. Asaph Hyman, who oversees Global Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art at Bonhams, credited the outstanding results to robust performances across all major salerooms, including those in London, Paris, Hong Kong, and New York. He acknowledged the year for its unprecedented outcomes and high market prices, expressing appreciation for the trust of consignors and recognizing buyers as new guardians of the artworks. These impressive results were fueled by significant collections and strong provenance, supported by a dedicated international team of experts under Hyman's guidance.
