This June, Classic Week returns to London as part of the Summer Season, celebrating art and objects that span millennia, from antiquities and Old Master paintings to decorative arts, rare books, furniture and sculpture.

This season’s six auctions feature standout treasures across diverse collecting categories, including Roman marbles and Greek gold, Renaissance manuscripts and scientific first editions, rare Fabergé, British maritime history, and paintings from the 14th to the 20th centuries, with fresh-to-market works offered without reserve.

Highlights include Canaletto’s majestic Venice, the Return of the Bucintoro, once owned by Britain’s first Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, and displayed at 10 Downing Street. Also featured are a rare sculpture by Sir Alfred Munnings; a battle-worn Union Jack flown from HMS Spartiate at Trafalgar; and a J.M.W. Turner drawing, marking the 250th anniversary of his birth. The lineup also includes Old Masters by Constable and Titian, alongside Galileo’s first printed book, Dialogo (1605).
