The Exceptional Sale brings together a selection of museum-quality works, forming a true cabinet of curiosities. Highlights include a spectacular astronomical clock, an Enigma machine, and furniture and works of art with prestigious provenances. A dedicated section celebrates Asian art and 18th-century European manufactories, from Chantilly to Meissen. The sale also evokes the world of Countess Greffulhe, a legendary figure of the Belle Époque, notably featuring her portrait by Helleu, while the vision of Paul Poiret brings this magnificent sale to a close.

The Léon Parcé Collection continues this dialogue with a masterpiece from the history of science: the Pascaline, the first calculating machine ever created and the last remaining example in private hands. It is accompanied by an exceptional library that includes works by Pascal, Galileo, Kepler, Newton and Descartes.

The online sale, Old Masters – Paintings, Sculptures, Drawings, and Silver, illustrates the breadth of European craftsmanship, from the refinement of Flemish and Spanish painting to the virtuosity of master silversmiths.
