This December, Christie’s Classic Week returns to London, bringing together an exceptional selection of works spanning centuries of art, history and craftsmanship across seven live auctions from 1–10 December.

From Old Master paintings, European furniture and decorative arts to antiquities, natural history, rare books and manuscripts, Classic Week celebrates the breadth of collecting.

Highlights include The Blaquier-Arrieta Collection, led by the magnificent Meissonnier Tureen, alongside exceptional French silver, gold boxes, paintings, sculpture and furniture.

The Old Masters Evening Sale is led by the only known large-scale fruit and flower pendants by Jan van Huysum remaining in private hands, while Old Masters to Modern Day presents paintings, drawings and sculpture spanning seven centuries, including works by John Constable, J.M.W. Turner and Sir Alfred Munnings.
