Aguttes Bruxelles

A passion for French-art transmission

Founded in Clermont-Ferrand in 1974 by Claude Aguttes, the Aguttes auction house is now made up of a team of 60 passionate individuals, which remains its greatest strength. Over the years, it has risen to become a leading player in the art market. Still independent and family-run, with three children actively involved, it is dedicated to the mission of transmission. With its auction room located in western Paris and representative offices in the regions, as well as in Brussels and Geneva, Aguttes stands out for its personalized service and responsiveness. Its 17 departments, led by in-house experts and specialists, enable the appraisal and sale of major collections, paintings, jewelry, automobiles, and exceptional works of art. Thanks to its strong promotional reach and culture of performance, the auction house strives for excellence and regularly achieves world records. Fully aware of the trust placed in it by its sellers, Aguttes remains, above all, committed to serving them.

OUR MISSION IN BRUSSELS

In May 2019, Aguttes opens an office in Brussels. It opens its activity in the north of France, in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and in the entire European Union. Brussels is a major political and economic center reachable from Paris, Amsterdam or London in only a few hours. The office is entrusted to the native of Belgium, Ernest van Zuylen. He offers to sellers in Belgium and the région a personalized, responsive service, from appraisal to sale, and provides direct access to a clientele of over 50% international buyers, as well as a direct path to the world's top collectors to reach and achieve auction records.

 
Ernest van Zuylen and Thomas Unger are your personal local representatives for all valuation requests. They coordinate with the internal experts and specialists free and confidential valuation days throughout the year. They are available to meet you by appointment at home. The Aguttes experts of the 15 specialised departments work to value and sell your collections, paintings, works of art, jewellery and outstanding cars in compliance with the values of transparency in intermediation, discretion, rigor and audacity.
