海洋圖畫
引領海洋圖畫市場的佳士得每年會於倫敦舉行兩場海洋圖畫專拍(5月及11月)，亦會於紐約古典大師及十九世紀藝術拍賣上推出海洋圖畫作品。
自舉行此類拍賣以來，佳士得便不斷打破世界拍賣紀錄，包括蒙塔古‧道森(Montague Dawson)的《黎明之翼》(2006年7月，紐約佳士得；508,800美元/275,027英鎊)、約翰‧威爾遜(John Wilson Carmichael)的《應為香港海域內的英式雙桅帆船與其他船隻(包括線條分明的中式遠洋帆船及快將啟航的巨型英國戰艦》(1997年11月，倫敦佳士得；172,000英鎊)，以及英國海軍部的精細英軍五級戰列艦模型(2003年11月，倫敦佳士得；663,750英鎊)。所有拍品的成交紀錄至今仍未被打破。
來自世界各地的客戶均爭相競投來源有緒的優質拍品，令倫敦拍賣創下連場佳績。拍品包括1600年代至今的圖畫及精緻的船隻模型。
