Public auctions
In the heart of Brussels the saleroom of the « Mont-de-Piété » is becoming progressively one of the most important auction room in the Capital of Europe.
Each year the « Mont-de-Piété » organises classical and special sales with catalogues in its own rooms.
Today more than 90 % of the objects sold by auctions are jewels and silverwares but there are also more and more objects of art and decoration articles such as for example paintings, carpets, bronzes, crystalwares, small pieces of furniture, etc.
The sold objects have two origins. Next to the sales realised after pledging loans which do not have been paid back, there are the sales that are requested by the borrowers themselves.
It does not matter if the sale is voluntary or not, the sale benefit, that is the difference between the auctioning price and the minimal loan increased with the interests and charges, is in favour of the customer who is the depository of the object.
All the sales organised by the « Mont-de-Piété » are supported by a catalogue and are preceeded by exhibitions.
The « Mont-de-Piété » sells in the best possible conditions all the pledges that have been confided to him and the interests of which have not been paid as well as all the pledges for which the borrower has asked a requested sale.
The deponent is discreetly informed per letter of the imminent enlistment of its pledge and of the possibility for him to recover its good until the last moment before the auctioning. We draw the attention of the customers who wants to buy in our sales to the fact that the lots that are mentionned in the catalogue and presented during the exhibitions can nevertheless be redeemed until the last time limit even during the sale.
For the buyers who can not be present to the sales we accept buying orders.
