The services and roles of our auctioneers
Our auctioneers in Fontainebleau offer a full range of services, tailored to every situation: valuing works of art, managing assets, organising private and public sales. Whether you have inherited a collection, own works of art or professional stock, Maurice Auction will be able to advise you and guide you towards the best solution to enhance the value of your possessions.
Thanks to our local roots and our privileged relationships with the region's cultural players, we have a detailed understanding of the historical and artistic objects of Fontainebleau and its heritage. In fact, our in-depth knowledge of the history of Fontainebleau, the château and its forest enables us to accurately value assets ranging from the Renaissance under François I to the treasures of the Napoleonic Empire.
Our expertise also extends to modern and contemporary works, notably those by the famous animal sculptors Claude and François-Xavier
Lalanne, who left their mark on the region when they settled in Ury, just a few kilometres from Fontainebleau. Their unique creations are highly prized at auction.
Organisation of an auction in Fontainebleau
Maurice Auction doesn't just appraise your possessions, we take care of the entire auction process. Whether you are selling locally, in the Fontainebleau region, or internationally, we organise and coordinate everything to maximise the visibility and interest in your items.
We are used to showcasing rare items such as period furniture, imperial swords and medals, paintings by the École de Barbizon and works by the Lalannes. Each item is carefully photographed and highlighted to attract potential buyers from around the world. So a Lalanne sculpture or a painting of the forest of Fontainebleau could well find a buyer beyond France's borders, thanks to our international contacts.
Estimating the price of your property
Estimating is a crucial step before any auction. Our auctioneers offer professional, confidential and accurate valuations for all types of property: antique furniture, works of art and collectors' items. Fontainebleau's rich history, marked by its château and its illustrious residents, lends great value to items with a local provenance.
Works by local artists such as the École de Barbizon or sculptors Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne attract an international clientele. These artists have a strong link with the Fontainebleau region, and their works are highly sought-after by art collectors the world over.
If you own antique furniture, jewellery or objets d'art of historical or artistic importance, we guarantee you an accurate valuation, based on our in-depth knowledge of the market and current trends.
