1. REVIEW THE AUCTION CATALOGS

Every auction organized by Libert & Associés is announced in advance and features a detailed catalog, available online and sometimes in print. This catalog presents the lots on offer, accompanied by photographs, detailed descriptions, and price estimates.

Tip: Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social media so you don’t miss any auctions or events.

2. ATTEND THE PRE-AUCTION VIEWING

Before each auction, a free preview exhibition open to the public is held. This is an ideal opportunity to examine the lots up close, assess their condition and quality, and ask any questions you may have directly to the experts on hand.

Tip: If you’d like additional information about a lot (condition report, certificate, provenance, additional photos), contact us: info@libert-associes.com · +33(0)1 48 24 51 20

3. REGISTER FOR THE SALE & PARTICIPATE IN THE AUCTION

Please bring a valid form of identification and, if necessary, a bank guarantee to register with our team either in person at the auction or via email.

During the auction, you can bid in several ways:

- In the auction room: Bid in person by raising your hand when the auctioneer calls out the lot you’re interested in.
- By phone: If you wish to bid remotely, a member of our team will contact you to place your bid live.
- Online: Through our secure platforms, Drouot Online or Interenchères Live, you can follow the auction in real time and bid remotely.
- By buy-in order: You can submit a buy-in order in advance, specifying the maximum amount you’re willing to bid on a lot.

Tip: Before the auction, set a bidding limit—equal to your maximum budget for each lot you’re interested in—so you can bid with confidence.

4. AFTER THE AUCTION

If you win the auction, you will receive a sale slip indicating the final amount, including buyer’s fees.

Payment can be made:

By bank transfer.
By credit card (depending on the amount).

Tip: Schedule the pickup of your lot as soon as payment is made. Our teams can assist you in arranging transportation if necessary.

5. BUYER’S PREMIUM

In addition to the hammer price, buyer’s premiums apply. The rate is specified in the catalog and announced before the start of each auction.

6. PICKING UP YOUR PURCHASES

Once payment has been made, your purchases can be picked up directly at the auction house or the storage facility (depending on the sale) or delivered to the address of your choice, according to the agreed-upon terms.

Buying at auction is much more than just a purchase: it’s an encounter with history, it’s feeling the excitement of the moment the hammer falls, and above all, it’s the pleasure of owning a unique item to which you’re giving a second life.
