Ancient and modern books
Manuscripts and autographs
Prints and photographs
For nearly twenty years, our sales have been the unmissable event for bibliophiles and collectors who seek and appreciate the quality of the exceptional pieces brought to light in our record auctions.
Our auctions cover all themes, from 15th-century incunabula to modern editions with limited print runs, and include atlases, works on literature, philosophy, religion, economics, mathematics, natural sciences, travel, architecture and history. Estimates take into account the presence of engravings, original prints and bindings (mosaic or with arms), as well as their provenance.
Through our collections of autograph manuscripts, we honor the great names of History, Literature and the Arts. Our expertise encompasses charters, illuminations and books of hours, autograph letters and correspondence, historical archives, old and contemporary manuscripts, dedications, scores and old photographs. Each piece is subjected to rigorous analysis and description to guarantee its authenticity and value.
Our department works in close collaboration with Cabinet Revel, headed by expert Emmanuel de Broglie. We are at your disposal for free, confidential appraisals and valuations, whether of an entire library or a single rare work. We are committed to offering you a personalized service, combining discretion, professionalism and a passion for the treasures of the written word.
