This March, Sotheby’s Dubai will present two back-to-back exhibitions showcasing the spectrum of Sotheby's international sales and extensive client services – all from the heart of the DIFC. The first, from 15 – 18 March, will present glittering jewels, historic objects from the Islamic world and Modern and Contemporary paintings by artists from the Middle East and beyond. The pieces will then travel to London, Geneva and New York to be auctioned. Among the highlights include a flawless white diamond pendant (est. $4.5 – 4.8 million) and a magnificent twelfth-century silver-inlaid scalloped basin adorned with astrological designs (est. £1 – 1.5 million). The second exhibition, coinciding with the neighbouring Art Dubai fair, marks Sotheby’s first private selling exhibition in the Gulf. Watches, jewels, Fabergé, and Contemporary art will be available for immediate purchase.
