Auction House

Ideally localized in “rue du Cirque” in Paris VIII, near the Champs-Elysées and the Grand Palais, the auction house Daguerre is also implanted in Semur-en-Auxois in a mansion of the XVIIIs. 

Our five collaborators, including three auctioneers, are here for you to realize with efficiency and discretion the inventory of your heritage in case a succession, a partage, a sale or the valorization of a collection. 

Daguerre has been created in 1999 by Bertrand de Coton and Benoit Derouineau, old students in the Ecole du Louvre and old collaborators for Christie’s London and Paris. They will be able to advisor families and loyal collectors, but also organize sales with their own identity ! 

This is thanks to this small team, with large competences, that all the sellers can have a unique and discrete interlocutor, which can provide you the most precise and diligent expertise.
