Rare Mughal portrait book sells for £16,640 at Scottish auction, far above estimate

A rare book containing 56 portraits of Mughal rulers, first published in Delhi, was sold at an auction in Scotland. Experts had expected it to fetch between £500 and £800. It ultimately sold for £16,640, roughly 21 times the estimated value. The result reflects strong demand for artifacts tied to India's royal past. The volume's condition was noted as a concern, though this did not dampen bidding.
