Drouot Enchère Reviews

A cabinet of curiosities, a treasure chest filled with a perfect place to do business and acquire beautiful collectibles

The largest collection of objects for sale, some of "museum quality", with the advantage that there you can touch !!

Pure emotion facing the manuscripts of personalities such as Eluard, Beethoven, Bach, De Sade..Drouot is a place where you can admire and discover all kinds of objects for sale

Very nice auction house, well organized and good products. Definitely recommend a visit (for tourism or real buyers).

Always the same. A mixture of obscenity in view of the money exchange of buyer public not nice and also a real cave of Ali baba. For the jewelry c really very very interesting.

Not great. Impossible to put auctions in advance, nor to see the hammer prices of the past objects, nor to put free auctions, nor to put the sale in mute (the "stop" that stops the video but the sound continues - it is used to what???).

A unique place both Museum and sales room always beautiful things to discover ...

Buy, pay, and unscramble to recover more if the object you bought is take to storage in the basement it cost me 15 a week I specify that the objects was very small, only way not to pay them call drouot transport, and it is overpriced 105 including tax for a small object less than 2 kg. In short it is better to be on site.

I went yesterday to the reception with tin objects (vase, jug etc ..) I wanted to sell.Apres a long wait .... a woman asked me what I wanted to sell ... and when I told her about pewter vases and jugs, she told me to sell them on the internet or in a rummage sale. I specify that I did not even ask to look or even to take the objects out of my bag.

Very interesting place to see at least once in your life but unfortunately a bit of another time technological level (online auction website)

It sells mainly objects of art. Friendly. Just plan a budget. Free entry.

Irreplaceable auction room things would seem to be better since the resignation of the Savoyards

Always a pleasure to come for a walk in Drouot. Many rooms but auctioneers not always "equal". Disparate personalities but it is also the charm of this colorful place.

Follower of the sales rooms. I will now also try the new Restaurant

Excellent welcome! In all the rooms ... the sales are well done and it is always a very pleasant moment to go in this building or parade marvelous antiques ... and which is the biggest market of Art of the World.

impossible to attend the sale as a seller.
blocking, no sound .... or no image. not reactive as a buyer. I have no time to lose to solve the problems of links other sites work perfectly and offers a much higher fluidity.

Very bad website, impossible to connect, an update
with the IT department would be in order! Ms. Hermance Loir, Account Manager advised me to switch to the Firefox browser, thank you very much for the advice ... and why not IE 8 while we are there ???

service. I preferred to unsubscribe from Drouot.

it's worth more than it was ... nor the cooncurents

The bidder "live", penalized compared to the bidder in the room: he can not take the price, because to force to bid on it to be a potential buyer.
Not nice, knowing that he already has costs of "live" to support ...

It is an institution that has invested a lot to improve its services. the service delivery and delivery remains to be reviewed.

During a visit to a room in the hotel Drouot, I left a purchase order on a painting, an oil on canvas that was in perfect condition and was to go on sale the next day. I specify that it was also in perfect condition when going on sale. I live far from Paris and could not go to the sale. Being the highest bidder, I went to pay my chart for the study the following week. With the slip, I went to the store to get my painting, the storekeeper brought me the paint that was torn, a good snag of the canvas that was not there during the visit the day before and not at the moment of the passage for sale, because it was certified to me. So the accident happened after the sale. I told the storekeeper, who told me that I could have it restored and be compensated by the company that deals with transportation and shopping. I had the table restored at my expense and after a year of steps, letters, mails and phone contacts, I could never get reimbursed for the restoration of this table by the company. The painting cost me 2300 euros and I had 350 euros of restoration. I keep a bad memory and I could not keep this table for which I had a crush when I saw it exposed in the room. I say that the auctioneer of a serious and reputable auction house helped me in my efforts, but unfortunately without success because I ran into a wall in front of me, this company that did not want to hear.

A timeless place, a special atmosphere, a Parisian institution !!!

Really magical place if you pass by it is absolutely necessary to go there, these objects have a story to tell

poorly sponsored to get the goods, be careful for the first time they do not accept checks but they tell you once the auction is over
be careful to get all the goods, because I got myself for a lot he had to go back to the store I dropped no time I wonder if this is not done on purpose, very disappointed, and not even a smile

The Drouot auction house is an institution in the world of auctions. Located in the heart of 9 the main building has been renovated and is now a very beautiful and bright place that promises beautiful hours of More

Avoid any auction that uses Drouot delivery service. They offered to ship two pieces of paper (unframed) from France to Belgium for 80 Eur. When I complained they increased their charges to 90 Eur claiming I owe them storage fees because I did not remove my lots the next day after the auction. Drouot is perfectly aware that it is impossible for most online buyers to remove lots immediately and yet, they charging me for storing two pieces of paper, A4 size.
Simply pathetic company that is awaiting to get slapped by the law.

Visiting the exhibitions is like going to the museum but you can buy what is on display. There are a lot of valuable things, but there are also great things to find and good deals.

The place has changed in recent years, but suddenly lost its soul
Always great things to do

Amazing place to buy and sell antiques and all kinds of art.

It is time to think about limiting the auction costs borne by the buyer. We are close to the 30% added to the hammer price without counting the costs borne by the seller! We are far from the 15/18% of past decades.
Furthermore, the time has also come to reconnect with credible and not "commercial" estimates.

Very nice to discover. We take the game and go to bid.

To discover absolutely and regularly for the sold works (some join the museums) and the atmosphere

A must for lovers of antiques and works of art ....

INCONTOURNABLE ... An unequaled choice of the most diverse objects, a MUST for simple amateur or professional expert ...

Is not really what it used to be ... Sorry ... And yet we could copy the English for the auction rooms!

Known worldwide, THE legendary Paris auction house, whether you are a novice or a professional, broke and curious or rich and in a hurry, tailor-made reception, "Drouot card" to follow and participate in direct sales More

Do not hesitate to push the door of the hotel Drouot, even in simple curious. With luck you can visit several showrooms before sales, or better attend one of them. Depending on the objects and the auctioneer you have a good time. Some have humor.
To try at least once!

Like a museum where you could buy the works. Unmissable ..

multiple sales rooms. prefer less expensive rooms in cool

Home ok
The unpleasant remnant to believe that the only goal is the money the butter and the creamer.

It's big, beautiful objects, high place of auction..but it's expensive, high fees, not suitable for distant buyers (shipping costs much more expensive than provincial halls)
In short, it's finally a bit exaggerated. Prestige is not everything ... and it is eroding over time.

Small reminder: no need to register to enter an auction. To bid, raise your hand. You will need a checkbook or a credit card. Attention: the fees are added to the hammer prices. They are usually 20 to 30% ...

Free admission for exhibitions. They are well presented with staff ready to give you more details about the objects.

There is always something happening. One of the most lively places in Paris, and free!

Auction house where all the best French auctioneers gather. Dozens of sales everyday! Do not hesitate to come in and browse the thousands of objects for sale. And if you feel like it, just rise your hand when something you like comes up. It is that simple, no registration. Enjoy the thrill!
The restaurant is excellent too.

I love but not the staff .... they think they are so much superior to others

To see, live auctions. By cons untenable heat go there in a t-shirt.

Bullshit! Site shameful for France, they have never looked at what is better internationally to make a site at the top, it looks like they have sought the worst. If at least they put a direct link to the webmaster to receive suggestions, we would not be there, but it shows that they do not want to know. Can not display more than 20 batches on iPad (possible on PC), can not change the page from the top of the screen, must go back once you have zoomed (look how Interencheres!). Have they looked at the sites in Belgium, Switzerland, USA? And besides they do not even answer the comments .......

Beautiful rooms, beautiful objects.

On the other hand :
Staff haughty, more busy talking to each other about their personal problem than to inform their customers.

The worst is surely the shopping service at -3. The staff are so busy talking to each other that they do not even answer you. And when they finally deign to answer you, they do it without looking at you. No respect, it seems to disturb everyone.

When you finally have your good pick up your item, do not forget to take what to wear and pack your lot!
Seeing a big roll of bubble wrap at door 13, I kindly asked if I could get a piece of it. I was refused by telling me that it was not their job.

Unacceptable. Drouot is not what he was.

Very nice auction room can offer a nice gift for friends and family welcome

Well received. The premises are clean. The gentleman who greeted us was very friendly, it changes the last time

A amazing place to see. It's better than on the telly

Already that the majority of institutional Drouot hotel increased their selling costs to 28%, they took advantage of this period of confinement to add 1.8% of costs to any auction via live representing a total of about 30 %. Ineligible, you will lose your work tool if not already done.

YOU HAVE ANYTHING FROM A FEW EUROS TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS THE CAVE OF ALI BABA

Mythical place. We also go there for the atmosphere

excellent
convenient
no disappointment regarding the lots purchased.

Visited from behind the Paris area, it was very nice. Thanks to the teams for introducing us to their universe. Very beautiful place.

Site to visit at work less once really an intuition in Paris
