Take in a tour of the world through the art of the ages, piece by exquisite piece, starting with herculean sculptures for the Sun King and ending with the smallest of golden boxes for the average aristocrat. Christie’s “Classic Week,” through July 12 at Christie’s London, showcases the sale of the most extraordinary fine and decorative art in the world. It’s a chance to take a sneak peak at art we will perhaps never see again, if the works are bought by private owners.
