Since the founding of the Sotheby's Auction House in 1744, the Sotheby's name has earned renown as a marketer of the world's most valuable and prestigious possessions. This reputation is built as much upon exceptional service to clients as on the notable art, antiques, jewelry and other holdings that pass through Sotheby's offices around the world. Our association with the Sotheby's Brand is truly what sets us apart because it is more than just an Auction House. It's the ultimate destination where collectors gather to indulge their desires and share their knowledge.
