Bonhams is a world-renowned heritage auction house founded in 1793. Backed by its global network of auction houses spanning the UK, the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, Bonhams offers the widest range of collecting categories at all price points.

Camron is working with Bonhams as it launches a major new U.S. flagship in Manhattan, forming part of the auction house’s global expansion strategy. Signalling its commitment to the U.S., Bonhams has relocated from Madison Avenue to the landmarked Steinway Hall at 111 West 57th Street, the world’s slenderest skyscraper designed by SHoP Architects.
