19th Century Furniture and Works of Art

Christie’s 19th Century Furniture and Works of Art department specialises in European decorative arts from the first Empire to the Belle Époque. Our auctions feature exceptional furniture by the most celebrated Parisian ébénistes of the period, including François Linke, Alfred Beurdeley, Henry Dasson and Emmanuel Zwiener, as well as leading London makers like Holland & Sons. We also offer clocks and objects by the likes of Christofle, Elkington and Barbedienne, lighting by F.& C. Osler and Baccarat, and Italian hardstone works of art, including Florentine pietre dure and Roman micromosaic.

Christie’s position as a historic leader in this category is unrivalled. We have held 19th-century decorative arts auctions since 1984, maintaining an experienced international team throughout this time. We offer works regularly in our auctions in London and New York, including The Collector and The Exceptional Sale, as well as in one-off private collection sales.
