Sam Fogg Rare Books & Manuscripts

Sam Fogg Rare Books & Manuscripts, commonly known as Sam Fogg, is a London-based art and book dealer specialising in the art of the European Middle Ages, together with a dedicated department for the arts of the Islamic lands and Indian art. The business operates from a gallery at 15D Clifford Street in Mayfair, London, just off Bond Street, and presents itself as the world's leading dealer in medieval art. Over three decades it has built a reputation for raising the profile of medieval art and for continually challenging and redefining the market for it. The firm deals in medieval sculpture, panel paintings, ivories, enamels, metalwork, stained glass and illuminated manuscripts, as well as Western manuscripts and works of art. Its Islamic and Indian art department covers areas such as Sub-Saharan Islam, Kufic calligraphy, the Quran, later Islamic calligraphy, Persian painting and Indian manuscripts. Sam Fogg has sold works of art and manuscripts to private collectors and to many of the world's great museums and libraries, including The British Museum, the Wyvern Collection, the Victoria & Albert Museum, The British Library, Musée du Louvre, the Rijksmuseum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Getty Museum. The gallery holds several exhibitions a year, typically accompanied by scholarly catalogues, conferences and webinars. It has also exhibited at international fairs including Frieze Masters, TEFAF Maastricht and TEFAF New York. Beyond its core medieval specialism, Sam Fogg has staged pioneering shows on less explored subjects such as medieval women, stained glass roundels, medieval architecture, the arts of the Christian East, medieval textiles and maiolica before 1500. The business is privately owned and continues to trade from its Mayfair gallery.
