Avenue Floquet

White Glove in Paris: Sheikh Hamad’s Avenue Floquet Collection Totals €24.4 Million at Sotheby’s

11. November 2026 by sl1 - Assistant de galerie

Bright comic of a smiling auctioneer with a gavel and two happy bidders raising paddles in an elegant Paris saleroom with a marble statue, blue-and-white Delft vases and the Eiffel Tower in the window

All lots sold across five sales from 4 to 9 November, more than doubling the low estimate. Top lot: a Roman marble youth that once stood for decades in an English garden pond.
