Articles that concern Sothebys

Founded in 1744, Sotheby’s is one of the world’s premier auction houses, renowned for its expertise in fine art, rare collectibles, and luxury items. With a global presence spanning over 40 countries, Sotheby’s has set records in numerous categories, including antique and decorative carpets.

For years, Sotheby’s held multiple dedicated carpet auctions annually, attracting collectors, museums, and connoisseurs from around the world. However, in recent years, these auctions have become less frequent. While carpets are still included in broader categories such as Islamic & Indian Art, Fine Decorative Arts, and Estate Sales, standalone Oriental rug auctions are now very rare. Link: www.sothebys.com
