Furniture, Sculptures & Objects of Art

The Expertise of the House

The on-the-ground work of our specialists, the Inventories & Collections department, and our network of representative offices allow us to examine a vast number of items. We appraise and intelligently categorize them to organize specialty auctions each year, closely followed by our international collector clients.

Our in-house expertise and passion for the history of objects—whether ceramics or sculptures—enable us to cover the full history of French, European, and international decorative arts, from archaeology and the Gothic period to the late 19th century. Haute Époque, Renaissance furniture, and pieces from the reigns of Louis XIII, Louis XIV, and the Age of Enlightenment (Régence, Louis XV, Louis XVI) form the core of our sales. The Consulate, Directoire, and Empire periods are also approached with dynamism, particularly since the launch of auctions dedicated exclusively to the Empire era. Additionally, we specialize in Restauration, Charles X, and Second Empire furniture.

The World of Furniture and Art Collections

Each year, Aguttes Auction House handles numerous private collections.

The Furniture, Sculpture & Art Objects department recorded over €3 million in auction sales last year for these collection-based auctions. Aguttes is committed to showcasing objects, artworks, and their sellers by providing tailored communication designed with collectors in mind. The support for these collection sales is fully personalized. The department head and their team develop the most effective sales strategy, which may include various auction formats—whether live or online. However, depending on the significance of a collection, it is often featured in a dedicated or standalone catalog with a carefully crafted visual identity. The geographical location of the sale is determined based on relevance. Auctions may take place at Aguttes’ salesroom in Neuilly-sur-Seine or at other locations in France and abroad.

Pre-sale public exhibitions provide an opportunity to meet buyers and offer them expert advice.

Our auctions feature pieces sought after for their exceptional craftsmanship, including works by renowned cabinetmakers, clockmakers, sculptors, goldsmiths, engravers, and ornamentalists from the 15th to the 19th century.

Good to know: Our Furniture and Art Objects department organizes 4 to 6 auctions annually in Paris.
