About From Our Auction House
When you participate in one of our auctions, the objective is understanding the narrative behind the lot, not just the final hammer price. Whether you are exploring our no-reserve events designed to lower the barrier for new collectors or competing for a significant modern masterwork, we provide full transparency on provenance and condition reports before the bidding opens.
The Auction Experience
Our auction house is built on the philosophy that every object, from a painting by F.N. Souza to an antique silver bangle, holds a history worth preserving. We host regular 'Auction of the Week' events and themed sales that allow collectors from across India to participate digitally. The process is designed to be rigorous yet accessible; we handle the research so you can focus on the art.
What We Auction
- Modern & Contemporary Indian Art: From seminal pieces by members of the Progressive Artists' Group to narrative-driven works by contemporary names like T. Vaikuntam and Babu Eshwar Prasad.
- Heritage Collectibles: We source unique items including rare Islamic art, mythological scrolls, and antique jewellery that offer cultural depth to any space.
- No-Reserve Events: These are essential entry points for new collectors to acquire pieces by established artists without the pressure of high starting estimates.
How to Participate
We bridge the gap between traditional auction houses and modern technology. Our events are hosted online, ensuring that geography does not limit your ability to build your collection. To get started, download the Bid & Hammer app. You can view upcoming lots, review condition reports, and register to bid on specific items. If you are looking for discretion or have a specific acquisition goal, we also facilitate private treaty sales outside of our public auction calendar.
Bid & Hammer
I am Maher Dadha, and Bid & Hammer grew from a lifelong passion for collecting, not from a desire to merely manage transactions. We treat every auction lot as a story, ensuring you understand the provenance, the artist's intent, and the historical context before you place your bid.
