A hotel rich in beauty and history, with fifteen auction rooms for furniture and everyday objects.

Hôtel Drouot, the temple of auctions, was inaugurated in 1852. It is the world's oldest public auction house. Admission to any of the 15 auction rooms is free. Ultimately, you only pay if you participate by becoming a buyer yourself. You can do this on site, of course, but you can also participate via the "Drouot" website. For your information, there is a structure - Drouot Estimations - which carries out verbal estimates of goods free of charge.

It seems the company is only interested in percentages of sales. A controversial issue has arisen with "Stanislas Machoïr", which adds payment for pickup to the cost of delivery of the lot! I still don’t understand why I have to pay for pickup if the item is sent to me by mail! and in general, why the pick-up service is paid is not clear. I wrote to Druout twice about this misunderstanding, the company did not help to sort it out, does not exercise control over payment and shipment of lots... as a result, my account was blocked. I think that if sales go through the Druout website, then you could support sales in difficult situations, and not freeze-out blocking users

La grande institution de vente aux enchères de Paris. Toute une vie grouillante dans et autour des salles.

Entrée libre pour ce site très particulier. On est ici à la fois un peu au musée (à partir de 11h00, présentation des pièces dans plusieurs salles, avant leur vente), et un peu au théâtre au moment des ventes aux enchères l'après midi vers 13h30.

Autant je n'ai pas de critiques à proprement parler sur les ventes à Drouot (sinon les pourcentages pris par les maisons de vente...), autant je trouve vraiment scandaleux les tarifs pratiqués par le magasinage. Je ne connais pas d'autres "vols" aussi manifestes, à titre d'exemple, j'ai récemment acheté des objets à Madrid qui a gardé gracieusement lesdits objets 2 mois sans frais. Il ne fait pas bon acheter à Drouot lorsqu'on est en incapacité de récupérer ses lots quasi immédiatement. Par ailleurs, il faudra m'expliquer en quoi consistent les "frais de dossier" systématiques, formulation suffisamment vague pour recouvrir aussi celle de "racket".

Un vrai musée...des enchères...des tableaux, des statues ....seul ennui !!l les taxes sur les achats ...entre 26 et 30 % en plus du prix adjugé. Je trouve que c'est une taxe de l état trop lourde pour les particuliers qui achètent un objet . Dommage. Les taxes sont moins chères en province ( 20 % à Bayeux par exemple )
