Selling a sculpture or painting at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris offers many advantages, even if you live in Menton or the neighboring communes. Nicknamed the "Pearl of France", Menton boasts a mild climate, lush gardens and a colorful, Italian-influenced heritage, with its Basilica of Saint-Michel and picturesque alleyways overlooking the Mediterranean.
A city of art and history, it is also known for having inspired numerous painters and writers, and for its cultural influence through the famous Lemon Festival. Situated on the French-Italian border, close to Monaco and Nice, Menton benefits from a privileged position and good road and rail links, making it easy to transport works to Paris.
Despite the geographical distance, collaboration with various transporters and our local teams guarantees reasonable sales costs. You benefit from Drouot's renown in showcasing your work and attracting collectors from all over the world, while minimizing logistical costs.
Making a name for himself in 2016, Alban Degrave quickly established a standard of excellence. He is now recognized for his mastery in appraising a multitude of weapons, from Renaissance sabers to First World War bayonets, from unique Corsican stylets to rifles and carbines from different eras. For Auctie's, he appraises and values your objects in accordance with French and European standards.
The art market is not non-existent in Menton, where you'll find many galleries, but the potential of your works sometimes doesn't reach what it deserves. Presenting them for sale at Drouot through our expert appraisals can be a real plus for their valuation.
Our auctioneers and experts come to the Alpes Maritimes, in Nice, Menton, Cannes, Grasse and Antibes, 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.
