Christie’s is the only auction house to present the full continuum of European art dating from the 14th to the 19th century in three major sale weeks each year. Our global team of specialists are acknowledged authorities in this category, the core of which is Old Master and 19th Century Art, but also includes Old Master Drawings, British Art and Works on Paper, Irish Art, Scottish Art, Sporting Art, and Maritime Art. With this diversity, collectors are given a rich context within which to appreciate the centuries-old tradition of representative art in Europe, and we reach a far wider audience than any comparable sale.

In addition to our auctions, Christie's Private Sales allow you the flexibility and discretion to buy or sell works of art outside the auction framework. Our specialists work with buyers and sellers alike offering both their experience, expertise and unique global reach to quickly identify either the work of art or the potential buyer.
