Bid & Hammer Details
Established by Maher Dadha (industrialist, art collector and also publisher of the book ‘Views of India – Art of the British Raj') and his sons Ankush Dadha & Apoorva Dadha along with Charu Sharma (auctioneer & commentator), HRH Gaj Singh II (Maharaja of Jodhpur and convener of Marwar INTACH), Savita Apte (world renown Modern & Contemporary Indian Art specialist), Rukmini Varma (great-grand niece of Raja Ravi Varma) and Bob Hayton (international auctioneer & decorative arts specialist) amongst others, Bid & Hammer's team of directors, advisors & specialists have a wealth of international experience allied to a deep understanding of the complex dynamics of the Indian market. At a time when the burgeoning Indian auction market was synonymous with Indian paintings, Bid & Hammer started with the objective of developing the Indian art and auction market beyond paintings by introducing the concept of generalist as well as specialist auctions covering not only Modern & Contemporary Art but also Company School Paintings & Drawings, Miniatures, Jewellery, English & Indian Silver, Antique Swords & Daggers, Period Furniture, Antiquarian Books, Maps, Prints & Photographs (ABMPP), Carpets, Rugs, Tapestries, Cricket Memorabilia and a host of other Decorative Works of Art & Collectibles – a first for any auction house in India! A traditional bricks and mortar auction house operating out of Bangalore & New Delhi with previews and auctions also held in Chennai and Jodhpur, since our first ‘Floor Auction' in 2008 we have conducted various ‘Estate Auctions' and have also conducted ‘Live Online Only' and ‘Silent Bids' auctions. In July 2013 we started ‘Timed Online Auctions' as well as ‘Spot Sales' to complement the thrill of our regular live physical auctions and from September 2015 we are introducing E-retailing with a ‘Buy Now: Online Antique Show & Sale' platform and thus cater to an even more diverse collector base.
