Orientalist Art

Since establishing the first auction dedicated to Orientalist art in 1998, Christie’s has led the field in this category and continues to realise record prices within London, Paris and New York.

Works by artists such as Jean-Léon Gérôme, Gustav Bauernfeind and Eugène Delacroix, John Frederick Lewis and Ludwig Deutsch capture a uniquely European view of the East — from Cairo to Constantinople — that increasingly attract a wide audience of collectors from emerging markets, demonstrating the timeless appeal of this aesthetic.

With specialists all over the world, Christie’s is dedicated to sourcing and selling the finest works of Orientalist art at auction and private sale. Please do contact us for a free and confidential valuation.
