About

We started Bid & Hammer because we love art and the stories behind every piece. For us, these auctions are about connecting people with objects that mean something - not just selling stuff.

What’s in Our Auctions

  • Indian fine art auction is our main focus. You’ll see everything from ancient sculptures to big names like Husain, Jamini Roy and Thota Vaikuntam. We cover lots of mediums - oil, watercolours, pen and ink, you name it.
  • Collectibles and decorative arts range from museum-worthy antiques to quirky ceramics. Sometimes, you’ll spot Satsuma porcelain or Victorian glass. Rare Jain scrolls and stone Buddha statues pop up too.
  • Royal jewellery auction lots come with stories - like documented Kundan and Polki pieces with Maratha roots.

How We Run Things

  • We do themed online auctions (like Diwali specials) and no-reserve art sale events for anyone wanting to try their luck.
  • Estate provenance collectibles get their own spotlight - you can bid on full collections with history attached.

Why It Matters

Every object has a story. We give you all the details about origin, artist, medium and background. Sometimes, you’ll find pieces with local flavour - Girinathiya Mandiradali (temple on the mountain) or festive wishes like Subho Maha Ashtami (Happy Durga Ashtami) woven into the catalogue.

Dive in, explore, and discover something you’ll love.

My Story

We started out just collecting, not thinking much about where it’d go. I’m Maher Dadha, and Bid & Hammer grew from that hobby. You know, sometimes it’s the story behind a thing that matters most. Like Mrs. Meena Appachu, who hunted porcelain all over, her collection telling her life’s journey. That’s what we love - honouring those stories, letting new folks find joy in old treasures.

My Work

Multi category auctions - We auction Modern & Contemporary Indian Art, Indian miniature paintings, antique silver jewellery, and all sorts of collectibles.

Online and accessible - Most auctions are online, so anyone can join in. We run no-reserve art auctions and low-reserve sales too.

Expert curation - Our team researches each piece, whether it’s a big-name artist or a rare estate art collection. We dig deep for the stories.

Celebrating culture - It’s not just about selling - we do talks, panels, and exhibitions, tying art to India’s festivals and heritage.

Private sales - For those after something special, we handle private, discreet sales of high-value works.
