Christies International
Our Heritage
From the beginning
How it all started
Christie’s, founded in 1766 by James Christie, has long been revered as a global leader in the world of art, celebrated for its exceptional service, unmatched expertise and iconic auctions. As one of the most prestigious names in the industry, Christie’s has cultivated a legacy of distinction, offering collectors access to extraordinary works of art across categories like fine and decorative arts, jewelry and wine. With a presence in over 50 countries, Christie’s holds major salerooms in art capitals such as London, New York, Paris and Hong Kong. This renowned brand has a reputation for excellence that spans more than 250 years, seamlessly extending beyond art auctions into luxury real estate through Christie’s International Real Estate. This expansion reflects the same commitment to quality and exclusivity, connecting high-end clients to extraordinary properties that are as unique as the masterpieces in Christie’s storied auction rooms.
