World's oldest auction house celebrates 350 years

On February 27, Stockholms Auktionsverk celebrates 350 years, a historic anniversary for the world's oldest auction house. Established on the initiative of Baron Claes Rålamb – the Chief Justice of Stockholm and a pioneer in the auction world – who issued the founding auction chamber order in 1674.

Welcome to Stockholms Auktionsverk!

In 2024, Stockholms Auktionsverk celebrates 350 years, a historic anniversary even for the world's oldest auction house. Since 1674, Stockholms Auktionsverk has brought extraordinary antiques and works of art under the hammer – each one a piece of history on its own. A legacy that makes for more than a marketplace; but custodians of cultural heritage, proud to bring past treasures into the future. At Stockholms Auktionsverk, every day is history in the making.
