Rare Books And Manuscripts
The department of Rare Books and Manuscripts specialises in printed books and ancient manuscripts. Papyrus scrolls, manuscripts, and vintage books serve as tangible links to past eras. Our collection allows book collectors to enrich their libraries with rare, vintage, and limited-edition works.
AstaGuru curates antiquarian books, first editions, travel accounts, and limited publications. Each collection is meticulously researched and presented with attention to subject matter and rarity.
Covering themes such as architecture, attire, civilisation, hunting, music, politics, and travel, our auctions have included works by Thomas and William Daniell, James Baillie Fraser, Edward Orme, and others. Fraser’s Journal Of A Tour Through Part Of The Himala Mountains (1820), along with 20 engravings, achieved a winning bid of 25,30,000 INR. The department continues to expand the catalogue with significant additions.
