Exemplary client service and extensive experience are the two most important assets that have fueled Christie's success as an auction house. This commitment to excellence began in the auction house's early years when James Christie conducted his first sale on 5 December 1766. Famed for his eloquence and humor, Christie turned auctioneering into a sophisticated art, conducting the greatest auctions of the 18th and 19th centuries.
