Paintings Auctions Surge Across Europe as Autumn Sales Build Toward December
Paintings continue to anchor the autumn and early winter auction calendar, with regional houses across Europe offering everything from Old Master works to modern pieces. The sequence begins on November 10, 2026, when John Taylor's Auction Rooms holds a catalogued sale of antiques, collectables and modern items at 10am, including paintings alongside furniture, ceramics, silver, jewellery and glassware. In Sweden, a Norrlandskonstnärer theme sale closes on November 20, 2026, offering more than 320 lots of art from across Norrland. Paintings by Vera Frisén, Bengt Åberg, Arne Olsson and Anna Kristensen are among the highlights, all listed on Auctionet.
A busy weekend follows. A Weihnachts-Auktion in Germany runs November 19 to 21, 2026, with paintings, Asian art and furniture offered on November 21 from 10:00, after public viewing from November 16 to 18. The same day, Asta commissaires-priseurs Corse-Paris holds its Collections corses sale at the Hôtel Ostella in Bastia, with paintings offered alongside furniture, objets d'art, jewellery, watches, coins and silverware, and an afternoon session from 14:00.
Thursday, November 26, 2026 brings two live sales from an Italian house. Auction 123 focuses on Old Master and 19th-century paintings from the Casa Santangelo Collection, while Auction 124 covers modern and contemporary work. Top estimates include Giorgio de Chirico's 'Ritratto di Raissa' at 150,000 to 200,000 euros, signalling strong demand for collection-led offerings. The same day, Boisseau-Pomez in Troyes presents paintings, drawings and graphic works at 09:00, and the sequence continues on November 27 with a furniture, paintings and objets d'art sale.
The final stretch of November is dominated by Hôtel des Ventes de Metz. An online sale starting November 28, 2026 at 8 p.m. offers old and modern paintings with no physical viewing of lots. A classic November sale follows on November 29, 2026 at 2 p.m., covering paintings, jewelry, furniture, rugs and wines, with in-person viewings on November 28 from 2 to 6 p.m. and November 29 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Across these sales, a few trends stand out. Collection-led sales, such as the Santangelo and Corsican offerings, are drawing attention, and multi-category houses continue to pair paintings with decorative and luxury goods. Online platforms and hybrid formats remain common, with many houses offering live and internet bidding. Looking further ahead, Martín Saráchaga Subastas in Argentina plans its main sale in early December, featuring Argentine painting alongside decorative arts, books and jewelry.
