AGUTTES - Auction House

Aguttes, an independent International auction house for 50 years. Paris-based

Remaining independent, with no external shareholders, Aguttes has grown over the years to become a major actor in the art market.

Founded in Clermont-Ferrand in 1974 by Claude Aguttes, and still a family business with three active children, the company's 60-strong team is its greatest strength. With an international auction room in western Paris and representative offices in Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand, Aix-en-Provence, Brussels and Geneva, the company stands out for its personalised service and responsiveness. In-house experts in 15 departments ensure the valuation and sale of major collections, paintings, objects, jewellery and exceptional motorcars. With its strong communications and 50% international buyers, the company regularly achieves world records. Aware of the trust placed in it by its sellers, it remains at their service first and foremost.
