Free estimate - Auctioneer in Wallis and Futana

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 Mata Utu, the capital, or around Vailala or Halalo, 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 Wallis and Futana    

The Wallis & Futuna art market is a vibrant reflection of the rich culture and traditional heritage of this remote Pacific archipelago. Wood carving, weaving, banana bark painting and tapa - traditional fabrics made from the bark of certain trees - are all art forms rooted in ancestral traditions. Craft markets and cultural events offer locals and visitors alike the opportunity to discover and acquire these unique artistic treasures, while helping to preserve and celebrate Wallis and Futuna's distinctive cultural identity. There are collectors on the island who often buy from galleries but face difficulties in reselling their possessions in the event of an inheritance, a move or any other change that may occur.
