The Gallery holds London's largest range of South and East Asian artifacts. It was
established by Michael Backman, a writer and columnist on Asia, and a long-time
collector of Asian art objects.
(For more information about Backman's books and other writing, click here.)
The Gallery utilises his wide knowledge about Asia - its history, many cultures,
politics and trade - permitting a more complete understanding of the cultural,
social and historical context of the assembled objects.
The Gallery offers rare and unusual objects in new and interesting collecting areas
such as Malay brassware, Central Asian artifacts, betel paraphernalia and Islamic
art from Southeast Asia, as well as more conventional fare.
The online catalogue is fully up-to-date and with all items shown available now.

Michael Backman Ltd participates in Asian Art in London each year, which is
normally held in November and features exhibitions, and evening and weekend
openings.
Asian Art in London is London's leading event for Asian Art, and the Gallery is
pleased to join London's foremost dealers and auction houses in this unique
opportunity to acquire works from all over Asia, spanning some 5,000 years of
culture.
