Brussels hosts the Belgian operations of Sotheby's, Christie's, and Cornette de Saint Cyr. FFGR Belgium provides discreet auction-day transfers and lot collection logistics.
Belgium's art market is anchored in Brussels — Sotheby's, Christie's, and Cornette de Saint Cyr (the major Belgian auction house) all conduct regular sales in the city, concentrated in the Sablon quarter and the Palais des Beaux-Arts (BOZAR). The autumn and spring sale seasons (October-November and March-May) are the most active periods.
FFGR Belgium auction logistics: auction-day transport is a specific category of client service. Buyers attending major sales need: discreet arrival (collectors do not always wish their auction attendance to be public), a vehicle large enough to transport purchased works from the saleroom to their Brussels residence or storage facility, and post-auction transport availability at unknown times (auctions can conclude at unexpected hours depending on bidding pace).
Sotheby's Belgium: operates from the Rue du Grand Sablon. FFGR Belgium vehicles position at the Sablon side entrance for post-auction collection, with the V-Class as the preferred vehicle when large-format works are being transported.
Christie's Belgium: Brussels operations conducted from the Avenue de Tervueren. Christie's Brussels specialises in Belgian Surrealism and Art Nouveau — the Magritte, Delvaux, and Spilliaert works that appear in major Brussels sales are context-relevant for the FFGR Belgium clientele.
Cornette de Saint Cyr: the major Belgian-origin auction house, with regular sales in Brussels covering 19th-century Belgian art, silver, furniture, and jewellery. Less international in profile than Sotheby's/Christie's but with deep Belgian collector networks.
Lot transport: for purchased works requiring specific handling (large-format paintings, sculptures), FFGR Belgium coordinates with Brussels-based specialist art transport companies for the physical move; FFGR Belgium provides the client's personal transport to and from the saleroom.
