私人珍藏及莊園宅第拍賣
English | 繁體中文
自1766年成立以來，佳士得曾成功舉行多場盛大的私人珍藏及莊園宅第拍賣。每場拍賣著重的風格及藝術範疇各有不同，從1793年的杜巴利夫人(Madame du Barry)瑰麗珠寶、1848年為期四十天的斯托夫人(Stowe)珍藏拍賣，以至較近期的塞西爾‧比頓(Cecil Beaton)、瑪麗蓮‧夢露(Marilyn Monroe)、魯道夫‧紐瑞耶夫(Rudolf Nureyev) 、羅斯柴爾德家族(Viennese Rothschilds)、于貝爾‧德‧紀梵希(Hubert de Givenchy)及克里斯多佛‧吉布斯(Christopher Gibbs)珍藏。另外，佳士得也曾舉行五場皇室珍藏拍賣，包括瑪嘉烈公主珍藏。
佳士得憑藉超卓的拍賣技巧與經驗，致力確保任何定價的珍藏均能以高於原來估價的價格成交。另外亦會舉行著名藏家專拍，將藝術品的魅力、藏家的風格與引人入勝的歷史背景交織展現於買家眼前。佳士得也會不定期於拍品所在地舉行拍賣，表現各項珍藏原來的擺設方式和特色，讓買家了解最佳的佈置方法。
此類拍賣涉及的程序繁複，必須小心策劃、穩當安排。從策劃拍賣、宣傳及現場的搬運與準備工作，動輒需時數月。過去五年，佳士得每年舉行超過十五場藏家專拍，傲視同儕。

It is a great testament to the vision, quality and taste of this private collection that it attracted such competitive and diverse international bidding at this evening’s sale."
