Classic Design
New York | London | Paris

Shifting generational tastes, desire to create highly personal spaces, and concerns about sustainability and the environment are driving demand for antique, vintage and classic design. Our new sale series Classic Design Week – encompassing European furniture, clocks, silver, ceramics and objects of vertu – showcases over 500 years of craftsmanship. The signature Classic Design auction offers the finest examples in each collecting category, while the Design 17/20 auction is defined by a worldly exploration of design across the centuries. Classic Design Weeks are held biannually in London, Paris and New York.
