B uilding on two decades of market leadership, our November 2024 sale of Fabergé, Imperial and Revolutionary Art featured the full array of Russian artistic production, including paintings alongside works of art by some of Russia's most celebrated artists. The sale achieved a total of £3,937,180 against a low estimate of £2,975,000.

With the second installment of this auction taking place in November 2025, Sotheby's can offer our clients a unique platform for their objects, guaranteeing maximum visibility.

With the most experienced team in the field, Sotheby’s has expertly navigated the challenges of the global political climate to great success. We have yet again maintained dedicated sales of Fabergé, Russian Works of Art and Paintings during the past two years, which has given us a unique insight into the current market and the greatest access to collectors globally.

Our strength in the field has continued in 2025 with impressive results for both Russian works of art and paintings. Of particular note is the important private Collection of Fabergé and Vertu from Castle Howard which was offered earlier this year in May. The collection was a monumental success with 100% of the works selling for almost over three times its pre-sale estimate.
