Nice Enchères

Nice Enchères, a century-old auction house, firmly rooted in Nice and looking to the future

Nice Enchères is one of those auction houses whose history is intertwined with that of the city. For over 100 years, the firm has been serving the people of Nice and art enthusiasts from across the region. Situated a stone’s throw from the famous Hôtel Negresco, it has established itself as a familiar and vibrant venue, where people come as much to discover as to seek information or ask for advice.

Spanning 1,000 m², the firm offers large exhibition halls, reception and storage areas, and a comfortable environment where objects can be viewed, explained and showcased. This spacious venue allows everyone — whether a collector, an art lover or simply someone with a curious mind — to take their time and fully enjoy the exhibitions and auctions.

With a rich history, Nice Enchères has been led by several notable directors. After many years under the leadership of Maître Palloc and then Maître Fede, the firm was recently taken over by Maître Agathe VOISIN, who brings fresh energy and a modern vision whilst respecting the firm’s century-old heritage. This transition marks the beginning of a new chapter, combining continuity and renewal.

On a day-to-day basis, Ms Voisin is supported by a team of nine passionate individuals who are always ready to welcome visitors. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and everyone takes the time to explain how auctions work, to value an item or to assist a family with an estate. Here, the focus is on personal contact, education and transparency.

Auctions are organised by specialism, with carefully curated selections and items presented in a clear and well-documented manner. The aim is to make the auction experience smooth, accessible and enjoyable, whether you come to buy, sell or simply find out more.

Nice Enchères thus continues its mission: to preserve the spirit of a century-old auction house whilst grounding it in a modern, open and dynamic approach. And above all, to continue welcoming everyone who walks through the door — with a smile, an attentive ear and a genuine passion for the items and their stories.
