Prince Sadruddin and Princess Catherine Aga Khan's Art Collection to be Auctioned
The personal collection of Prince Sadruddin and Princess Catherine Aga Khan will go up for sale at auction, featuring striking masterpieces of Indian and Persian painting, expected to fetch over £8 million.
The art collection, which belonged to the only child of Sultan Mahomed Shah (Aga Khan III) and his second wife, is to be auctioned at Christie's in London later this month.
A collection like this appears once in a generation, if that, - Sara Plumbly, Christie’s Head of Islamic and Indian Art.
The sale, taking place on 28th October, comprises 95 works collected for their home, Chateau de Bellerive, on the shores of Lake Geneva.
