History
Sotheby’s opened its first office in Monaco in 1967. It was the first international auction house to hold a sale in the Principality, with the auction of the Redé Rothschild collection in 1975. Since then, the Monte Carlo office has been entrusted with many other prestigious private collections, including the Estate of Mona Bismarck (1986), Karl Lagerfeld’s Memphis furniture (1991), Guy de Rothschild’s Château de Ferrières Collection (1994), the Count and Countess of Paris Collection (1996) and the Estate of the iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld (2021).

Throughout the year, our international specialists travel to Monaco and the Côte d’Azur for valuations, inventories and tailor-made advice.
