Collections & Historical Souvenirs

As it has already done with the Souvenirs of Marshal Oudinot or the collection of the Verly Family, the Collections and Historical Souvenirs department brings together collections with prestigious provenance. These objects are privileged witnesses to the great moments of history, be they French or foreign, relics of a murky or glorious past, but eternally precious. The department brings these collections into the spotlight, allowing us to pay tribute to the great figures of our age.

Whether they be royal or imperial items, historic documents, orders and military decorations, famous weapons, items in gold, silver or porcelain, paintings, sculptures, furniture or objects having belonged to historic, political, literary or scientific figures, the department is committed to bringing to the public moments from history.

Artcurial’s specialists are at your disposal for free and confidential valuations of your objects and works of art linked to figures who have left their mark on history.
