Brand Timeline

For over 280 years, Sotheby’s has been the trusted name behind some of the world’s most valuable possessions. What began as an auction house for fine art and rare manuscripts has grown into a global authority in the luxury market. In 1955, Sotheby’s became the first international auction house, expanding to New York, Hong Kong, France, and India, before launching Sotheby’s International Realty in 1976. Today, the Sotheby’s name is a mark of international credibility and quality—whether in the auction house or in a Sotheby’s International Realty showroom. It is a connection to heritage, excellence, and a world without boundaries.

Our history

TIMELINE

Sotheby’s first established its name as a seller of valuable books and manuscripts, including rare library collections and prized first editions. Its growing reputation quickly made it a national authority, with operations starting at the Exeter Exchange on London’s Strand. By 1917, Sotheby’s had found its enduring home on Bond Street in Mayfair—a move that cemented its place at the heart of London’s art and cultural scene.
