Sothebys -
Sothebys was founded back in 1744 by Samuel Baker when he held the first-ever sale under his own name. As Sotheby developed and become the first international art auction house to hold auctions on the Internet in 2000 it became known as Sothebys.com. It became the venue for some dramatic and unprecedented success, such as the sale of a first printing of the Declaration of Independence. However Sothebys does not only have auctions for art and printings it also specializes in the buying and selling of other items and goods such as wine. Sotheby’s Wine Department has the most experienced and successful team in the wine auction business. They are proud to offer the finest wine cellars in the world. Although it is not an auction venue anymore it does offer different wine auctions that the public can attend.
