How to buy ?

A) GET INFORMED

C) BID

During an in-room sale, the procedure is simple:

• You do not need to register in advance.
• Simply raise your hand or make a clear gesture to signal your intention to the auctioneer (except for certain lots requiring a deposit, as specified in the lot description).
• If another bidder raises a bid after you, you are free to continue bidding or not.
• If no other bids are placed above yours, the auctioneer will pronounce "sold".
• If you are already registered with the clerk, simply show your paddle number.
• If not, a member of the team will come to collect your ID and payment information.
• The clerk will then record your payment for the lots you have won.

You are free to leave the room at any time.

Live Bidding (ONLINE)

All our sales are broadcast live on the Internet. If you cannot attend in person, you can follow the auction and bid in real time by registering on one of our partner platforms, such as drouot.com or interenchereslive.com.

As with in-room bidding, you will need to provide your identity and banking information before the auction. Once your registration is approved, you will be able to see and hear the auctioneer in action and view photos of the items as they are presented.

In the room, an operator relaying your bid will announce it out loud. Please note that these platforms will charge you a commission for their service, the amount of which is specified on their websites.

Telephone Bidding

If you do not have Internet access on the day of the sale and your ID and banking information have been validated beforehand, you can request to bid by telephone. To do so, register during the exhibition or send a written request to the sale manager.

Once your request is approved, a staff member will call you a few minutes before the lot you wish to bid on is presented.

Absentee Bidding

Our sales managers can record your absentee bids, with a fixed maximum amount.

This bid can be submitted in paper form during the exhibition, or sent by email directly to the department in charge of the sale. You can also submit an absentee bid by registering on our website.

Once your bid is validated, you will receive a confirmation by email. Absentee bidding forms are available upon request from our art departments or sales managers.
