Internet was lacking a transactional website offering to buy and sell appraised works of art in a quick, transparent and secured way.
By bringing together a team of thirty-seven independant and renowned experts, Expertissim makes a significant step forward: the high and low estimates suggested by the expert will determine the selling price of the object.
Open 24 hours a day to the whole world, Expertissim intends to promote an art market more secure and accessible: less opaque, less complex and fewer commissions.

The experts working with Expertissim were selected according to criteria of reliability, reputation and professional experience. Expertissim brings together thirty-seven, renowned and independent experts - a guarantee of excellence in the appraisal of works of art. Each object put on sale has been carefully selected by our experts. They describe, authenticate and estimate its value.
While the object is on-line for sale (1 or 2 months), its price decreases once a week in a mathematical way. The expert's estimate (high and low estimate) determines the selling price of the object and is in accordance with the art market. It insures the fairest price!
With Expertissim there is no bidding system. The price decreases in an automatic and mathematical way; it is continuous, regular and transparent.
While the object is on-line, 24 hours a day and anywhere in the world, you can acquire the item of your choice.
During the payment process, you may choose to pay the shipping fees, calculated according to the size and price of the object (delivery by one of our associate transport companies: La Poste, UPS...). You may also choose either to collect the object yourself at our office, or arrange a delivery by a carrier of your choice.
Expertissim provides a secure on-line payment service managed by HSBC via Ogone.
If the delivery is outside France, Expertissim can take care of all administrative procedures (customs, export licence, etc.).
If you have a question or wish to see an object, you may contact us either by e-maile-mail, or by phone. We will reply as soon as possible.
The buyer's fees are set at 20,9% of the selling price (pre-tax)

J'ai du m'occuper de la succession de mes beaux parents qui détenaient des objets et meubles anciens de qualité.
Mon souci était que je n'avais pas connaissance en matière d'art et d'antiquités
