Sales conditions

Sales conditions


Any bidder acknowledges having read these general conditions below and

expressly accepting them.

They must identify themselves to Drouot Estimations prior to the sale in order

to be able to bid by telephone during the very sale. Requests for telephone bids

must be put in writing and accompanied by a valid identity document as well

as bank account details. Drouot Estimations will try to contact the bidder by

telephone during the sale but declines all responsibility if an error or omission

occurred in the course of this free service.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to check prior to his purchase whether the property

is subject to customs formalities for export or import to the chosen destination.

A refusal or a delay of an authorization necessary for the export or the import

could not justify a delay of payment of the total sale price including commission,

expenses, rights and applicable taxes, nor any cancellation or sale resolution by

the successful bidder.

If a certificate of free circulation has been issued or if an application is in

progress, this will be specified when the lot is presented for auction.

No tax-free invoice can be established without official proof of export.


Purchasers will pay in addition to the hammer price, a buyer’s premium of:

- 25% (VAT inc.).

- 1,2% (VAT inc.) DrouotLive.


In accordance with the law, DROUOT ESTIMATIONS is responsible for the

contents stated in the catalogue, subject to amendments announced by the

auctioneer during the sale when presenting the lot.

The dimensions are given on an indicative basis.

No complaint related to restorations, small accidents, and condition will be

accepted as the public exhibition allows a proper examination by the buyer.

Indications about the condition are available upon request to the auctioneer in

charge of the sale.


Absentee and phone bids

Auctioneers and experts execute, free of charge, absentee and phone bids, for

those who cannot attend the sale.

Anyone wishing to set up a phone bid will need to send a request by email,

attaching a copy of his ID and bank details, at the latest the day before the sale.

Experience reveals that communications are not always possible due to

technical problem or lack of reception, therefore a phone bid request assumes

that THE BUYER AGREES TO BID TO THE LOW ESTIMATE PLUS ONE MORE

BID in case the connection is lost for any reason.

Drouot Estimations cannot be responsible for failing to execute a bid.

To request an absentee or phone bid : bids@drouot.com
