Auction house history
The Lemon Auction auction house and SELAS Bérangère Janik, a judicial auctioneer's office, are joining forces to succeed the Chochon-Barré and Allardi auction house.
Located in Boulogne-Billancourt and in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, our firm regularly organizes auctions at the famous Drouot auction house.
Lemon Auction, auction house in Boulogne-Billancourt
Lemon Auction has orchestrated the dispersal of prestigious collections, including the studio of the famous painter and artist Jean Souverbie on November 15, 2006, as well as an exceptional collection of Bentley vehicles, dispersed at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 1989. More recently, in 2023, we put up for sale the studio collection of the ceramic artist Pierre Lèbe, as well as exceptional pieces related to music history, such as the very first Fedora worn by Michael Jackson and the guitar of the legendary jazzman T-Bone Walker.
The current directors of our auction house, Nathalie Pavula and Bérangère Janik, share a passion for works of art, jewelry, design, and all objects reflecting our history. They closely follow the developments of the art market and remain at your disposal for the appraisal, valuation, and sale of your property.
Selas Bérangère Janik, auctioneer in Paris
Our judicial office positions itself as an essential ally for legal professionals, whether in Paris, the Hauts-de-Seine department, or across the entire national territory. Bérangère Janik, an auctioneer qualified as a Commissioner of Justice, offers her services with professionalism and responsibility. She supports various stakeholders, notably notaries for conducting inventories for partitions, tax declarations, or legacies; legal guardians for the protection of adults to perform inventories or sales for the benefit of those under their care; lawyers for inventories or partitions related to divorces; as well as civil judicial administrators for conducting inventories and sales aimed at settling vacant or disputed estates, among others.
The judicial auctioneer's office in the Seine department (75) was established by a Royal Edict dating back to 1691. Since then, the holders of this office have succeeded one another: ROGER Michel; IMBAULT Jacques on August 3, 1710; IZART Robert on July 12, 1718; HAMELIN Pierre on March 22, 1734; FEGUEUR Jean on April 20, 1743; GIRAULT Jean on March 18, 1772; DUFLOSC Louis on January 13, 1773; SIBILET Louis on March 22, 1785 (3 Thermidor Year IX); DESHAYES Charles on August 21, 1814; LECONTE Barthélémy on November 27, 1818; DYE Léon on June 22, 1862; ROGUET Just on November 2, 1864; CHANSEL Pierre on May 27, 1877; CITERNE Paul on December 9, 1893; HUBERT Victor on July 16, 1906; CAMUZAT René on October 15, 1938; CHOCHON Robert on July 3, 1946; CHOCHON-BARRÉ Marie-Françoise on February 8, 1982; ALLARDI Jean-Philippe on May 25, 1989.
