Illuminating History
Occasionally, an object comes to market that transcends the category of “art” and enters the realm of world heritage. The Rothschild Vienna Mahzor, to be auctioned at Sotheby’s on February 5, 2026, is such an object. This illuminated Hebrew manuscript is a testament to medieval artistry and the resilience of culture.
For the ultra-high-net-worth collector, acquiring a manuscript of this caliber is a statement of stewardship. The provenance associated with the Rothschild name adds a layer of market desirability that ensures enduring value. Assets of this uniqueness are often utilized in complex financial structuring, a service familiar to New York Loan Company.
This standalone auction highlights the specialized nature of the February 2026 season. It is a focal point of our monthly luxury guide, representing the intellectual peak of the winter calendar.
