Expertise with Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr

Expert Appraisal Day with Bonhams

On Thursday, March 13, we had the pleasure of welcoming specialists from the prestigious auction house Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr to our BARNES Bordeaux agency. This exclusive event offered our clients—art enthusiasts, collectors, and connoisseurs—the opportunity to have their exceptional pieces appraised and to engage in insightful exchanges with renowned art market experts.

An Exceptional Partnership

As part of the collaboration between BARNES and BONHAMS, we had the honor of welcoming Emmanuelle Leclerc, auctioneer and Director of the Inventories and Collections Department at Bonhams France, accompanied by Stefania Lumetta, specialist in 19th-century Old Master paintings.

This partnership highlights the synergy between high-end real estate expertise and the art market, offering our clients personalized guidance in the valuation of their assets—whether real estate or art—while both our houses remain committed to promoting the French art of living.

A Privileged Meeting for Art Enthusiasts

Emmanuelle Leclerc reflects on the event:
"The recent expansion of Bonhams in France and Europe since 2022 has enabled our house to grow rapidly and become one of the most important auction houses, now ranked fourth in France. Alongside Stefania Lumetta, specialist in Old Master paintings, we were delighted to meet Bordeaux-based collectors and art lovers, to exchange with them and provide insights into the value of their artworks. Discovering a forgotten object in someone’s home and restoring its value on the market is our primary mission—the one that gives true meaning to our profession."

Throughout the day, pieces such as Old Master paintings, jewelry, and timepieces were meticulously examined by the experts. Each valuation offered an opportunity for enriching exchanges about the history and value of these family treasures.

An Event Marked by Sharing and Discovery

This gathering allowed participants to gain a deeper understanding of the art market, receive expert advice, and explore the opportunities offered by auctions. A truly exceptional moment, this day reflects our commitment to offering exclusive experiences to our clientele.
