Aguttes

The art and passion of passing on a legacy

Having remained independent, with no external shareholders, Aguttes has, over the years, established itself as a major player in the art market. This growth is underpinned by the core values of transparency in its brokerage activities, discretion, rigour and boldness. Founded in Clermont-Ferrand in 1974 by Claude Aguttes, and remaining a family-run business with three of his children actively involved in the firm, it now comprises a team of 60 people, who are its greatest asset. With an international auction house located in western Paris and regional offices in Brussels and Geneva, the firm stands out for its personalised service and responsiveness. In-house experts across 17 departments facilitate the valuation and sale of major collections, paintings, artefacts, jewellery and exceptional motor cars. With its strong communications capabilities and a buyer base that is 50 per cent international, the firm regularly achieves world records. Aware of the trust placed in it by its sellers, it remains, above all, at their service.
