One of the few surviving Georgian auction houses in London, Bonhams was set up in 1793 when Thomas Dodd, a renowned antique print dealer, joined forces with the book specialist Walter Bonham. Today Bonhams is one of the world's oldest and largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques. The Bonhams name is recognised worldwide throughout all sectors of the fine art, antiques and collectors' market, with offices and salesrooms in London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Paris, Hong Kong, and Dubai.
