Free estimate - Auctioneer in Mayotte

Since 1978, Auctie's experts and certified auctioneers have been appraising more than 50,000 requests for estimates and appraisals of works of art and collectors' items in Paris every year, in complete confidentiality.

Whether you're in Mamoudzou, the capital, or around Saint-Pierre, or Saint-Paul, our auctioneers will meet your needs.

Indeed, we are aware that the French overseas departments and territories are regions where it is less easy to obtain a free and fair valuation of one's objects. It can be difficult to sell your valuables, paintings, jewelry and collectibles.

Whether it is within the framework of an inheritance or simply to know the value of your objects, our experts of proximity accompany you in the authentication of your good, and eventually, in its sale.

We give you free online estimates for your artworks, valuables and luxury items within 24 hours.

The art market in Mayotte 

The art market in Mayotte, although less publicized than in other regions, has a deep and diverse cultural richness. Situated at the crossroads of African, Malagasy and European influences, it is a fairly complex market in which works circulate widely. Art galleries offer a variety of pieces, from wood carvings to vibrant paintings and colorful weavings. What's more, the emergence of new talent is helping to further energize the art scene, offering visitors and collectors a unique and authentic experience of art in Mayotte. There are collectors on the island who often buy from galleries, but find it difficult to resell their possessions in the event of an inheritance, a move or any other change that may occur.
