First set up in England, the oldest auction house in the world has already sold works of art, furniture, jewellery and wines from special vintages, ever since James Christie made his first sale in London on 5 December 1766. Since then, Christie’s has grown, become internationally established and diversified its fields of activities.
Since 1995, the company has also been active in the commercialization of emblematic properties, through the company’s real estate arm, Christie's Great Estates.
Only leading companies, with in-depth knowledge of standards of excellence in provision of services and that show proven competence in managing the negotiations of distinctive and high-standard properties can be representatives of the prestigious and well-known Christies Great Estates brand.
The company is present in 40 different countries. In the cities of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto and Salvador, Coelho da Fonseca was the only company selected to represent the company due to affinity of products, clients and ethical principles.
