Sotheby's will auction pieces from the Philippe Missillier Collection of Arms and Armor, one of the most important and rarest collections of its kind to come to auction.

This sale is significant as neither Sotheby's nor Christie's has staged a standalone sale for arms and armor in about two decades.
