Furniture & Works of Art

An antique piece of furniture reads like a document. Its maker's stamp, the quality of its marquetry, the condition of its gilt bronzes and its journey from one house to the next count for far more in its value than its style alone.

Four centuries of decorative arts

MYTIKA offers furniture and works of art from the medieval and Renaissance period (Haute Époque) to the 20th century, at its two auction houses in Honfleur and Lisieux. Our sales feature, among others:

• 17th and 18th-century French furniture, from Régence to Louis XVI, stamped or attributed
• 19th-century styles: Empire, Restauration, Napoléon III
• Regional furniture, Norman armoires and buffets above all
• Clocks, gilt-bronze mounts, mirrors and lighting
• Ceramics: Rouen faience, Sèvres, Paris and Meissen porcelain
• Sculpture, tapestries and objets de vitrine

Two formats, one standard

Our Belles Ventes (fine sales) take place several times a year in Honfleur and present the most significant pieces in a carefully prepared catalogue, including our traditional New Year's Day sale. Our Ventes Courantes (general sales) are held regularly in Honfleur and Lisieux, offering a steady flow of pieces for collectors and interior designers alike.

The standard is the same in both formats. Our auctioneers and specialists examine every piece: they read stamps and marks, analyse woods and joinery, and identify restorations and later additions. The catalogue reports all of this candidly, which is what allows buyers to bid with confidence.

Bid in the room, by phone or on Drouot Live

Every sale is preceded by a public viewing, the moment to open drawers and judge patinas firsthand. On sale day, telephone bids, absentee bids and Drouot Live open every lot to buyers across France and Europe.

Thinking of selling?

A single piece, the contents of a family home or an estate: each calls for its own approach. For larger collections, we also hold on-site sales, as we did for the contents of the Hôtel L'Écrin in Honfleur in June 2026.

Our process takes three steps:

1. Send us photos, dimensions and any visible marks through our online form, or visit us during one of our valuation days.
2. Our specialists return a free, confidential estimate, with no obligation.
3. If you decide to sell, we choose the right sale together (Belle Vente, Vente Courante or on-site sale), along with the published estimate and the reserve price.

That inherited sideboard no one has ever had appraised may deserve better than a car-boot sale.
