As of 2023, Christie's has offices in 46 countries worldwide, with salerooms in London, New York, Paris, Geneva, Milan, Amsterdam, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.<ref name="Christie's Locations"/>

=== Europe ===
Christie's flagship saleroom is in London on [[King Street, St James's|King Street]] in [[St. James's]], where it has been based since 1823. It had a second London saleroom in [[South Kensington]] which opened in 1975 and primarily handled the middle market. Christie's permanently closed the South Kensington saleroom in July 2017 as part of their restructuring plans announced in March 2017. The closure was due in part to a considerable decrease in sales between 2015 and 2016 in addition to the company expanding its online sales presence.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/7cd9636a-fed0-3aa9-b036-d933e12b270f |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/7cd9636a-fed0-3aa9-b036-d933e12b270f |archive-date=10 December 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Christie's to close South Kensington sale room|first=Josh|last=Spero|date=9 March 2017|website=Financial Times}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2017/christie-s-south-kensington-to-close-sooner-than-expected/|title=Christie's South Kensington to close sooner than expected|website=Antiquestradegazette.com}}</ref>

Christie's has been operating a space in Hong Kong's [[Alexandra House]] since 2014.
