Objects appraised in Salon-de-Provence and sold in Paris

Selling a sculpture or painting at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris offers many advantages, even if you live in Salon-de-Provence or the surrounding communes. A town with a rich historical past, it retains a remarkable heritage with the Château de l'Empéri, its ramparts and ancient buildings, while also being known as the city of Nostradamus, who lived here in the XVIᵉ century.

Located between Aix-en-Provence, Arles and Marseille, at the crossroads of the Crau and the Durance plains, Salon-de-Provence benefits from a strategic position and excellent motorway and rail access, making it easy to transport works to Paris.

Despite the geographical distance, collaboration with various carriers and our on-site 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 to your objects, opening the doors to new opportunities for your goods, wherever you live.

The art market in Salon-de-Provence      

The art market is not non-existent in Salon-de-Provence, where there are many galleries in particular, but the potential of your works sometimes doesn't reach what it deserves. Presenting them for sale at Drouot through our appraisals can be a real plus for their value.

Our auctioneers and appraisers come on site, in the Bouches du Rhône, in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, Martigues, Salon, Istre and Marignane, 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.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does a free appraisal work at Auctie's in Salon-de-Provence?
    Auctie's offers two options: an in-person appraisal with a certified auctioneer who visits the region monthly (Salon-de-Provence, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, and surrounding towns), or an online appraisal within 24 hours. For the online appraisal, simply submit clear photos of your item (front, back, and signature) via our form. The service is completely free and requires no commitment.
  • What types of items can be appraised for free in Salon-de-Provence?
    Auctie's appraises a wide variety of items: classical and modern paintings, bronze and marble sculptures, antique and designer furniture, jewelry and gold, Asian art (bronzes, vases, prints), tableware (silverware, dinner services), historical military items, and display pieces. Each category benefits from the expertise of specialized auctioneers.
  • Why should I sell my artwork in Paris rather than in Salon-de-Provence?
    Selling at Drouot in Paris offers unparalleled visibility that attracts collectors from around the world and further enhances the value of your items. Although Salon-de-Provence has galleries, your pieces may not always reach their full potential there. Furthermore, thanks to our network of carriers and our teams, logistics costs remain reasonable despite the distance.
  • How do you authenticate a work of art in Salon-de-Provence?
    To authenticate a work of art, we recommend requesting a free appraisal from Auctie's, conducted by a certified auctioneer or expert. They will examine the piece’s characteristics, signature, condition, and all other details necessary to certify its authenticity, in complete confidentiality.
  • How long does it take to get an online estimate from Auctie's?
    An online appraisal will be provided within 24 hours of receiving your photos. For in-person appraisals, our experts visit the Salon-de-Provence area monthly by appointment. In all cases, the service is free and requires no obligation.
