Frequently asked questions
How do I find an auction house near me?
Browse the interactive map or choose your region, department or town: OuChiner lists auction houses, sale rooms and auctioneers all across France, with address and contact details.
What is the difference between an auction house and an antique dealer?
An auction house holds public auctions under the authority of an auctioneer: the price rises with the bids. An antique dealer, on the other hand, sells pieces at a fixed or negotiated price. On OuChiner you will find both.
How does an auction work?
The lots are put on display before the sale, then knocked down to the highest bidder. You can bid in the room, by telephone or online depending on the auction house. A buyer's premium is added to the hammer price.
Is the service free for treasure-seekers?
Yes, the map, the directory and the listings are entirely free and require no registration.
