About Sotheby's Home

Sotheby's Home operates as an online consignment marketplace specializing in pre-owned luxury furniture, lighting, accessories, and art. The platform emerged from the acquisition of Viyet, a digital marketplace for furniture and decorative objects, by Sotheby's in February 2018. Viyet was originally founded in 2012 by Elizabeth Brown, Louise Youngson-Klasfeld, and Rachel Rodin. The acquisition was a strategic move by Sotheby's to penetrate the market for vintage and antique furniture and decorative items at more accessible, fixed price points, complementing its high-end auction and private sale services.

Read full description

Following the acquisition, Viyet was rebranded as Sotheby's Home in October 2018, with Viyet's CEO, Elizabeth Brown, continuing as the CEO of the new entity. The business model is centered on providing a full-service consignment solution for individuals and trade professionals, including interior designers. This service manages the entire selling process from curation and photography to logistics and delivery. The platform serves clients across the United States, leveraging a network of curators in various markets.

Sotheby's Home generates revenue through commissions on sales made through its platform. It provides a marketplace where consignors can sell their luxury and vintage home goods, and buyers, including design aficionados and collectors, can purchase these items alongside showroom and gallery pieces from brand partners. This creates a unique e-commerce environment that combines peer-to-peer sales with direct-from-showroom inventory from notable brands and galleries, which previously had limited online availability.
