I am excited to announce Bonhams' acquisition of Danish auctioneers Bruun Rasmussen. Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers joins Bukowskis, the Swedish auction house acquired by Bonhams in January 2022, and Bonhams Skinner, acquired by Bonhams on 16 March 2022, as part of the Bonhams network of international auction houses. Bruun Rasmussen was established in Copenhagen in 1948 by Arne Bruun Rasmussen, whose son Jesper has chaired the company since 1985. Jesper Bruun Rasmussen will continue as Chairman Emeritus, while the company will continue to be run by Jakob Dupont, the CEO. The company, with its headquarters in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn district, is a leading traditional auction house in Scandinavia, and a digital pioneer. It conducts live auctions at its original salerooms in the city’s centre, as well as online. Bruun Rasmussen sells more than 75,000 lots each year across a wide range of categories from furniture, paintings and modern design to silver, wine, and collector’s items such as books, arms and armour, stamps and coins. The company is the subject of a documentary series, Auktionshuset, which has been running on Danish television since 2013. We are delighted to welcome Chief Executive Jakob Dupont and the entire Bruun Rasmussen team to the Bonhams family.
