For the past ten years, Artcurial has been presenting sales dedicated to past civilisations. The Antiquities & Islamic Art department offers a global view of the infinite diversity of works and records that have been passed down to us.

The sale of renowned collections such as Wolf, Bouvier, Henry de Montherlant, Wenziner, Coiffu, Froment, Princess Roxane Kadjar and Edmonde Charles-Roux has enabled the department to forge privileged links with the most important collectors, guaranteeing them the highest standards of provenance.

The quality of objects offered for sale by the department has consistently achieved impressive auction results. In 2017, a high relief with masks fetched €629,000, while a Capitoline Flora statue fetched €104,960 in 2023. That same year, a rare Abbasid-era Quran achieved €406,720, and in 2024, the bust of a statue of a great governor of Sais in greywacke fetched over €682,249.

Thanks to the assistance of renowned experts and researchers, the department offers collectors the assurance of a qualitative enhancement as well as international distribution for their works.
