The heritage of an extraordinary brand

A Historic Heritage

Founded in London in 1744, Sotheby's is the world's oldest auction house for works of art and precious objects.

Originally specializing in book and manuscript sales, Sotheby's expanded its areas of expertise over the following centuries to become one of the undisputed leaders in the global art market.

Some of the world's most famous auctions have been conducted by Sotheby's, such as the sale of the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis collection, Gianni Versace, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and many others, attracting the world's most distinguished clients.
