As a new global sale feature, Christie’s Interiors will continue to bring clients the finest in attractively priced
quality home décor. Christie’s specialists from New York, London and Paris will continue to

Interiors sales. With our 2008 enhanced Christie’s Interiors offering, shoppers and decorators both new and old will
have an even more fantastic retail alternative when looking to complete their homes with stylish works that will hold
their value. We encourage clients both new and old to come in to Christie’s and have a look around, have a chat with our specialists who can provide expertise, friendly advice and help you buy or sell at auction,” say Stefan Kist, NicMcElhatton and Lionel Gosset, New York, London and Paris Heads of Christie’s Interiors.
