Objects appraised in Marseille and sold in Paris

Selling a sculpture or painting at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris offers many advantages, even if you live in Marseille or the surrounding area. France's oldest city, founded by the Greeks of Phocaea over 2,600 years ago, Marseille boasts an exceptional heritage, from its Old Port to the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, not forgetting Fort Saint-Jean and the Panier district.

Today, the city of Marseille is also a dynamic Mediterranean metropolis, marked by its openness to the sea and its cultural effervescence, embodied in particular by the MUCEM and its many museum institutions. With direct TGV links to Paris and major port and road infrastructures, Marseille makes it considerably easier to transport works of art to the capital.

Despite the geographical distance, collaboration with various transporters and our local teams guarantees reasonable sales costs. You benefit from Drouot's renown to showcase your work and attract collectors from all over the world, while minimizing logistical costs.

This prestigious platform for the exchange and circulation of the European art market offers incomparable visibility for your objects, opening the doors to new opportunities for your goods, wherever you live.

The art market in Marseille

Our auctioneers and experts come on site, in the Bouches du Rhône, Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, to appraise your works and advise you. If you need an auctioneer to carry out an inventory, Auctie's can also help you in the best possible way, by appointment.
