A department rooted in the history of taste

Since its creation, Les Grands Siècles has attracted collectors, connoisseurs and museums.

Versailles, a symbol of heritage and the French art of living, provides the department with an exceptional setting.

Each sale places particular emphasis on provenance, the quality of the selected ensembles and the enhancement of our artistic heritage across the centuries.

Landmark auctions in Versailles

Les Grands Siècles auctions have become key events on the art market.

They bring together furniture, paintings, sculptures, precious objects and works from major French and European collections.

These auctions highlight artists, workshops and manufactories that once furnished European interiors from the 16th to the 19th century.

Expertise, presentation and transmission

The department relies on a team of specialists in each field: furniture, sculpture, painting and works of art.

Each item is subject to in-depth expertise, professional photography and international exposure to collectors, connoisseurs and institutions through catalogues and a proven communication strategy.

Osenat thus supports the transmission and enhancement of your heritage under the best possible conditions.
