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. The collection features unique and iconic pieces from the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal Empires. Highlights include a personal sword belonging to Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. This sale is significant as neither Sotheby's nor Christie's has staged a standalone sale for arms and armor in about two decades.
