"What you like is worth more than what you own" - Hutu, Rwanda

The department, inaugurated in 2002 with the sale of the prestigious Louis Carre Collection, continues to develop under Bernard de Grunne.

One of our specialties is the sale of rare books and documentation on Oceanic and African art, which have proved a great success.
