Objects estimated in Nice and sold in Paris

Selling a sculpture or painting at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris offers many advantages, even if you live in Nice or the surrounding communes. The capital of the Côte d'Azur, Nice is famous for its Promenade des Anglais, its Old Nice with its colorful alleyways and its architectural heritage marked by Italian influence.

A city of art and culture, it is also renowned for its museums dedicated to Matisse, Chagall and modern art, testifying to its major role in the artistic history of the XXᵉ century. Situated between sea and mountains, Nice enjoys an exceptional geographical position and optimal accessibility thanks to its international airport, rail network and road infrastructure, which considerably facilitate the transport of works to Paris.

Despite the geographical distance, collaboration with various carriers 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.

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 possessions, wherever you live.
