Buy and Sell Antiques in the French Riviera

Works in Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Menton, Antibes, Grasse, Vence, Fréjus, 06 and Paca.

Why should you sell to an antique dealer ?

To buy at the best price, we take the time to agree on the best deal with the seller.

Sales are confidential and payment is made on the spot, with no hiddden fees.

Should you sell your goods via an auction house ?
We can question ourselves considering :

Costs :

Sales fee are now up to 45 to 55% of the sale price and are shared between the buyer and the seller.

Wait period :

For a regular sale, objects have to be registered at least a month before the sale, and longer for an important sale. As far as payment is concerned, it can occur between 5 weeks to a few months after the sale.

Unsold goods :

For most regular sales, there are very few unsold objects because there is no reservation price (minimum price of sale, agreed upon between the seller and the auction house, below which the object can not be sold). This often leads to very low sale prices. For big sales, despite lower prices, unsold inventory is often up to 35%. After an object has been offerd for auction without being purchased, it becomes harder to negociate a better price.

Auctions :

In order to raise the price of an auction, at least two people have to be interested ; unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Confidentiality :

Most collectors and professional wish to keep the price of their goods private.

My advice :

It can still be advantageous to place a selection of objects for auction. If you would like, and if I think it can be beneficial, I can set up the sale and help you get the best auction sale possible, free of charge (I choose the best time and place for your sale and inform my network of professionnals and collectors)…
