From 22 to 26 January, instant expertise
Throughout the week of 22 January, MILLON's experts and Asia specialists will be on hand to respond instantly to requests relayed by all correspondents. By making an appointment by telephone with one of the thirty offices in France, or even sending a few photos, you will be able to find out (at last) what the treasures in your home are worth.
The Asia department benefits from the expertise of Jean Gauchet, a member of the Oriental Ceramic Society in London and an expert in Asian art for the Chambre européenne des experts-conseil en oeuvre d'art in Paris (CECOA).
Jean, will complete the initial estimate later today. This appraisal is free of charge and in no way obliges you to put it up for sale. Above all, it's a unique opportunity to learn more about the object you own.
How often do the men and women of MILLON hear: "I know that my great uncle often talked about this vase/tableau, but I have no idea what it's worth and now it no longer belongs in our home", or "Do you know if these porcelains have any value? because we want to redecorate our home and buy other objects. By selling this object, we could perhaps start a new collection"; and also "my grandchildren have no emotional link with these paintings. By selling them, I'll be able to give them a present that they'll keep".
The jades, bronzes, porcelains, lacquers, prints, paintings, dream stones, Buddhas and suits of armour that you present to us will be appraised immediately
An auction according to your wishes
If you decide to present the object at auction, it will then be a matter of scheduling the sale within the timeframe that best suits your needs, within the MILLON calendar. MILLON's Asian Art department organises ten auctions a year in Paris, in the Drouot district.
Driven by China's economic growth, the Asian art market is currently one of the most dynamic in the world. Works and objects from the Far East - China, Japan, Southeast Asia and Vietnam - are extremely popular with collectors, regularly fetching record prices at public auctions in Paris. Whether it's ancient art or contemporary artists from this continent...
We regularly alert our file of French and international connoisseurs about new works that are going to be presented. The principle of auctioning allows several people to compete for the same object, and this is precisely what guarantees the seller the best price for his lot.
