Following the success of our summer auction, which realised more than £900,000 and achieved exceptional results across Ancient Art, Natural History and African &amp; Oceanic Art, Lyon &amp; Turnbull is delighted to present the November 2026 edition of Form Through Time.Bringing together museum-quality works spanning thousands of years of human history and natural discovery, the auction offers collectors another opportunity to acquire exceptional antiquities, meteorites, fossils, minerals, ethnographic art and archaeological treasures from around the world.The previous sale attracted international interest, led by the newly rediscovered Wilton House Aphrodite, which realised £353,000*, and an exceptionally well-preserved Ancient Greek Corinthian helmet, which sold for £239,600*. Collectors also competed strongly for Natural History, including a remarkable lunar meteorite sculpted into a sphere, which achieved £38,000*, alongside a rare Martian meteorite that realised £6,985*.The November auction continues this tradition, presenting carefully selected works that celebrate the intersection of art, archaeology, science and collecting. From classical antiquities and ancient civilisations to meteorites that pre-date the Earth itself, each object offers a tangible connection to our shared past and the wider universe.Whether you are an established collector or discovering these fields for the first time, Form Through Time brings together extraordinary objects united by rarity, provenance, craftsmanship and the fascination they inspire.All results inclusive of Buyer's Premium.
