Market size
There is no consistently reported global market size for Art Deco alone. The closest available proxy is the decorative-art auction category, which includes design objects, furniture, jewelry and watches and generated approximately $3.9 billion in 2025, up 7.1% from 2024.[52]
Market share & regions
Europe was the largest regional market for decorative art in 2025, with $1.4 billion in sales. North America ranked second at $1.2 billion, while Asia recorded $1.1 billion.[52]
Segmentation
The available market proxy spans design objects, furniture, jewelry, watches and other decorative works rather than Art Deco alone. Within the 2025 decorative-art market, sales were concentrated in higher-value works: the number of lots sold fell 11.9%, while the average price increased 21.6% to $15,247.[52]
Key players & concentration
The three leading international auction houses accounted for substantial reported decorative-art sales in 2025: Sotheby's generated $1.1 billion, Christie's $1.0 billion and Phillips more than $369.7 million. These figures imply combined sales of more than $2.47 billion, although they do not represent the entire market.[52]
Pricing
Pricing strengthened in 2025 despite lower transaction volume. The average decorative-art auction price rose 21.6% to $15,247, while a François-Xavier Lalanne hippopotamus bar sold for $31.4 million, illustrating the premium for rare, high-quality design objects.[52]
Trends, drivers & challenges
The 2025 market showed a shift toward trophy buying: sales value increased 7.1% year over year, but the number of lots sold declined 11.9%. The market remained below its 2023 peak of $5.7 billion, indicating continued selectivity and sensitivity to the availability of exceptional works.[52]
Consumer behavior & competition
Auction activity in 2025 favored high-value purchases over volume, with average prices rising 21.6% while lots sold declined 11.9%. Among the major auction houses, Sotheby's led decorative-art sales at $1.1 billion, followed by Christie's at $1.0 billion and Phillips at more than $369.7 million.[52]
Latest news
The latest broad market evidence available in 2026 reports that decorative-art auction sales reached approximately $3.9 billion in 2025, up 7.1% year over year. The same analysis identified stronger average prices, fewer lots sold and a $31.4 million auction result for a Lalanne design work.[52]
