Every auction is preceded by a two-day exhibition (Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. without interruption) where the staff and experts are at your disposal. The lots, which make up each sale, are detailed on our site and a catalog is available to you at the auction room. However, we recommend that buyers take advantage of these exhibition days to judge for themselves the condition and quality of the lots put up for sale.

 

SEVERAL POSSIBILITIES AVAILABLE TO YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN SALES

 

ON SITE DURING SALES

The buyer, who wishes to attend the sale, registers upon arrival and receives a brochure with a number. For each lot awarded to him, he must show it to the auctioneer so that he can group the purchases.
Are you bidding without taking care to take a number? Relax, we are here to resolve this detail quickly.
