Archaeology – Antiquity
These auctions feature objects unearthed by archaeologists during excavations: minerals, flints, ceramic shards, fossils, dinosaur skeletons... The arts of the Mediterranean basin are also represented. Enthusiasts of Egyptian antiquities will find engraved steles, amulets, and funerary statuettes — sometimes made for a pharaoh — available for auction. Passionate collectors of Greek antiquities will compete for amphorae, hydriae, statues, and antique busts, while admirers of Etruscan and Roman antiquities will acquire oil lamps and mosaics. Did you know? Auctions of fossils — once limited to natural history lovers — now attract art collectors as well. It is no longer unusual to see dinosaur or mammoth skeletons, such as Big John, fetch several million euros at Drouot during exceptional, prestigious sales. Find the finest archaeology auctions on Drouot.com — in Paris, throughout France, and abroad (United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, United States, etc.)
