Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland

About

With 26 years in the art market, I have spent the past 20 years driving the growth of Piguet Hôtel des Ventes, helping it evolve into a leading auction house with a team of 35 professionals. As a valuer and auctioneer, I have a leading role in business development and in fostering lasting relationships with VIP clients. I specialise in Russian works of art, objets de vertu, icons and religious art, as well as luxury handbags, costume jewellery, and accessories. I am also entrusted with special projects requiring in-depth research for historical, and cultural attribution, ensuring each item achieves its maximum market potential. Launching the initiative 'Piguet Philanthropy', I take great pleasure in animating charity auctions and gala evenings to support worthwhile causes. Charities who have called upon Piguet to raise funds include The Beast Foundation (SA), La Fondation de Volleyball (Lausanne), Greenlamp (Zurich), ASK (Geneva), Hands for Hope (SA), Mercury Phoenix Trust (Lausanne), Fondation Collège Champittet (Lausanne), Innocence in Danger (Gstaad), Action Innocence (Geneva), Arnaud Guesry Foundation (NFT auction Crans Montana), Planet Solaire Foundation (Monte Carlo), 1, 2, 3, Soleil! (Geneva), and Chance Association (Geneva). I value being part of a reliable, dedicated, and loyal team, believing that every contribution matters—success is achieved by a cohesive crew navigating the ever-evolving art market together.
