Since 1993, we assist various auctioneers in the selection of the
objects, the drafting of the catalogues and the organization of their sales
of Primitive arts and Arts of Asia.
In 1995 the growing development of this activity has temporarily
constrained us to put a term at that of Galeristes which was our since 1984,
up to the recent reopening of AAOARTS.gallery.
Since then, we ensure a mission of expertise, near the auctioneers,
but also of consulting near the eager private individuals wishing:
- To know the value of their inheritance into objet d'art
- To ensure or reinsure their collections
- To prepare their succession or the sharing of their inheritance
- To obtain a consulting for the purchase or the sale of an "objet
d'art", that it is in a gallery, a private individual, or an auction sale,
in France or abroad.
|
For all these operations, our professional secrecy guarantees the
greatest confidentiality.
Our sphere of activity also extends to the technical assistance
for the organization of exhibitions
(ex: Haguenau 1998, Karlsrhue 2002),
and
with the inventory of collections.
If you wish:
- to give us an object in consignment an object for a sale,
- ask us to look for something for you
- or simply to meet us,
it is essential to get an appointment
