Lyon & Turnbull’s World Cultures department brings together art and objects that reflect the diversity and creativity of human history. Our specialists handle pieces from Asia, Africa, Oceania, the Americas and beyond, works made for worship, ceremony, trade, or daily life, each with its own story to tell.
With an emphasis on authenticity, provenance and respect for cultural context, our sales attract collectors, curators and institutions from around the world. From carved figures and masks to textiles, jewellery and ritual artefacts, these works reveal how artistry and identity have intertwined across centuries.
