Appraisal of antique, modern, and contemporary paintings

The expertise of Vermot & Associés, auctioneers

Having an antique, modern, or contemporary painting appraised is an essential step in determining its true value on the art market in 2026. Whether you are a collector, heir, or owner of a recently inherited or acquired work, a professional appraisal allows you to confidently consider auction, insurance, or inheritance options.

The Vermot & Associés auction house offers you its recognized expertise in the appraisal of antique, modern, and contemporary paintings, with rigor, independence, and transparency.

Why have an antique, modern, or contemporary painting appraised?

The value of a painting is based on many criteria: the artist, the period, the technique, the condition, the provenance, and current market interest. These factors vary greatly depending on whether the painting is antique, modern, or contemporary.

An appraisal carried out by an auctioneer allows these specific characteristics to be analyzed in detail and the artistic and financial potential of each work to be identified. It provides a reliable basis for guiding your decisions, whether you are selling, dividing an estate, or taking out appropriate insurance cover.

Expertise tailored to each artistic period

Vermot & Associés' appraisal of paintings is based on an in-depth, contextualized analysis.

For antique paintings, the examination focuses on authenticity, provenance, any restorations, and historical context.

For modern and contemporary paintings, the analysis takes into account the artist's career, the rarity of the work, exhibitions, and recent auction market results.

This comprehensive approach allows us to establish a consistent appraisal that reflects the reality of the art market and the expectations of collectors.
