Bonhams

Bonhams operates at a different scale from Christie's and Sotheby's, and that is the point. The house covers fine art and the major collecting categories, but it is also where mid-five-figure sales, specialist departments, motorcars, whisky, regional estates, and collecting niches still get proper catalogue treatment. Since Epiris bought Bonhams in 2018, the network has expanded through Bukowskis, Bruun Rasmussen, Skinner, and Cornette de Saint Cyr.

A few schedules are worth tracking closely. Goodwood and Quail Lodge sit high on the collector-car calendar; whisky sales in Scotland are a serious single-malt market; Asian Art weeks in London and Hong Kong regularly surface porcelain, paintings, and works of art; and London sales across New Bond Street and Knightsbridge keep a steady fine-art, jewellery, furniture, and silver rhythm.

Practical notes: buyer's premium is tiered and location-specific; current UK terms put the first tier around 28% before dropping in bands above that, while acquired rooms can carry their own terms. Lots often publish two to four weeks before sale, and viewing is handled by the saleroom named in the catalogue. HammerAlert groups the Bonhams-network calendar into one chronological view.
