Artefact Enchères: an auction house driven by expertise and complementarity

Founded in 2024, Artefact Enchères is the result of the partnership between two auctioneers with complementary backgrounds: Maître Lara Schweitzer and Maître Hugues Watine. Guided by a shared vision of a modern, accessible and forward-thinking auction house, they combine their expertise to offer demanding, personalised service.

With rich and diverse professional experiences, their profiles complement each other and give the study a unique dynamic: rigorous knowledge of the art market, a refined understanding of object valuation, and a strong commitment to advising each client with care and professionalism.

Based in Lille, in the heart of the Hauts-de-France region, they welcome both vendors and buyers, responding to all requests for expert valuations, inventories, and specialist advice. The study also works with recognised experts across a wide range of fields: decorative arts, design, paintings, jewellery, objets d’art, furniture, fashion, wine, books and various collections.

The sales organised by Artefact Enchères stand out for their quality, diversity and carefully curated presentation, allowing every lot, from the most common to the rarest, to reach its audience. The study’s ambition is simple: to offer a professional, transparent and human-centred service, faithful to the tradition of auctioneering while embracing today’s tools and innovations.
