Capturing the attention of potential buyers is an art that requires true professionals used to a demanding market.
The trust placed in us by our customers will enable us to organise nearly 300 auctions in 2022 in Paris (Hôtel Drouot, Salle VV, le 116, etc.), Nice, Belgium, Switzerland, Morocco and online.
In 2020, despite the COVID crisis, MILLON's auctions will be just as numerous, diverse and specialised. Online auctions, which have been held at MILLON since 2011, have been added to the range, much to the delight of our customers.
The different auction sales
There are several types of auction. The choice of auction depends on the specific nature and value of the piece you wish to sell.
Do you own a painting depicting a view of the Orient? It will be presented at a specific "Orientalist Art" themed sale, or if you have an animal bronze, we will offer you the "Bestiary" sale... MILLON offers more than 35 art specialities or departments and different sale formats.
Our specialists will tell you about the upcoming sales season, the speciality and the most appropriate venue to ensure the best visibility for your work of art, object or collection.
Our sales venues
In order to be as close as possible to our potential buyers, we have various sales venues between France and Belgium.
