Activities
Plaisance, Baron and Grail, three names and three different personalities who share the same passion: the attraction of the art market with a predilection for sculptures, paintings, furniture and objects from the 1880s to the present day.
PBG expertise is today your privileged interlocutor for any purchase, sale or estimation of objects or furniture of the XIXth, XXth and XXIst century.
Our expertise is free and confidential. We are present every week in the South-West, the South-East, Normandy and the Paris region and according to your wish we advise you on the best way to present or sell your object.
Auction sales
Working in partnership with various auctioneers in Drouot, Paris and the provinces, we will advise you on the best way to present your property by targeting the geographical area, the optimal date and the choice of auction house. The auctions we organise for European and international customers allow total transparency and optimal visibility of the lots presented in our catalogues.
This allows us to sell at the highest market price the objects and works that our customers entrust to us. We handle the entire process leading to the sale (inventory, valuation, transport, storage, insurance, photography, exhibition and sales catalogue) and we advise you throughout this process.
OTC sales
Our firm also has a network of buyers and collectors from around the world looking for designers or artists. As such, we will be happy to share it with you and to conduct a private sale on your behalf in complete confidentiality and security.
This type of transaction makes it possible to sell an art object directly without presenting it in a public auction.
These sales give greater discretion to the transaction and can sometimes be faster.
Board
As privileged players in the art market and its workings, which can sometimes seem opaque to the uninitiated, we put our knowledge and know-how to the benefit of our clients in order to advise and guide them in the purchase and/or sale of their goods.
