At Bonhams, we want to make buying and selling valuable items at auction as transparent, friendly and straightforward as possible.

You can find out about future Bonhams auctions both online and offline

Searching bonhams.com and printed catalogs, and viewing condition reports

Visiting the saleroom and viewing days

Before you can bid on an item you need to register and get approved with Bonhams.

Once you complete registration, you are ready to bid. During the auction itself you can do this in a number of ways.

Bonhams charges a Buyer's Premium on each Lot that you purchase and there may be other charges relating to each Lot. The relevant information can be found by clicking this link.

The process that follows the end of each auction is designed to be fast and efficient.
