Lemon Auction

History of the Firm

The auction house Lemon Auction and SELAS Bérangère Janik—a judicial auctioneering firm—have joined forces to succeed the Chochon-Barré & Allardi firm.

Based in Boulogne-Billancourt and Paris’s 16th arrondissement, our firm regularly organizes auctions at the renowned Drouot auction center.

Lemon Auction: An Auction House in Boulogne-Billancourt

Lemon Auction has orchestrated the dispersal of prestigious collections, including the studio contents of the famous painter and artist Jean Souverbie on November 15, 2006, and an exceptional collection of Bentley vehicles sold at the Palais Omnisport de Paris-Bercy in 1989. More recently, in 2023, we auctioned the studio holdings of ceramic artist Pierre Lèbe, as well as exceptional pieces linked to music history, such as the very first fedora worn by Michael Jackson and the guitar belonging to legendary jazz musician T-Bone Walker.

The current heads of our auction house, Nathalie Pavula and Bérangère Janik, share a passion for works of art, jewelry, design, and all objects that reflect our history. They closely monitor art market trends and are at your disposal to provide appraisals, valuations, and sales services for your property.
