What You Will Do

Paris, like no other place in the world, holds an extraordinarily rich heritage and maintains strong Art&Antiques trade traditions. I will be delighted to guide you through it. During the visit we will see Drouot : a place where, since 19th century, thousands of art pieces, paintings, vintage objects and interior decors are going under the hammer on the everyday basis. You will have the possibility to assist to a few auctions, learn Drouot’ codes and rules, as well as some secrets. Together we will examine pieces of your interest upside-down and learn easy tips how not to get yourself a fake one, whether you are looking at an old bottle of wine, a vintage dress, a painting or a sculpture. With an expert by your side, you will immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the art market, and, who knows, maybe will end up with a vintage brand bag or a pair of design wall-lights as a souvenir of your Parisian trip.

I will be happy to introduce you to the history and the insides of the auction world and art market in France. And only when you will get all the key information, we will go into Drouot, a place where every day multiple public auctions take place.
