Institutions are full of hidden treasures. While their names and histories are well known to the general public and deeply rooted in popular culture, their heritage is rarely brought to the fore. Auctions are an excellent way of promoting these institutions and contribute to their standing. It's also an opportunity to revisit the history of men and techniques that have shaped these institutions, in the service of the public interest.

In the case of a move, or a desire to renew furniture, ADER Entreprises & Patrimoine aims to enhance the value of banks’ assets through an auction organized in several stages. First of all, a detailed inventory is carried out on site, to estimate the value of each item. This process is followed by researches carried out by our team, often in collaboration with company historians and experts, leading to the production of a sales catalog containing photos and estimates of each item. At last, an organisational process is put in place, from the running of the auction to the delivery of the last lots, including storage and delivery of the sold items. This tailor-made service enables our team to intervene quickly, discreetly and efficiently.

Large institutions, with their strong roots in popular culture, can easily add value to their heritage at auction, as demonstrated by the very fine sale in 2021 for the RATP or, in 2023, for the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
