Commissaire-priseur Dame Marteau Montpellier runs a furniture-focused weekly sale, cataloguing lots across sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables, sideboards, bookcases, consoles, chests of drawers, wardrobes, small furnishings and garden furniture. The house's current listing is a midweek sale of mobilier and design pieces, with more than seventy lots numbered across its catalogue pages. Buyers can place absentee bids or phone orders through the site, though the source offers no makers' names to single out.

Upcoming auctions include Arts du XXème & Design on November 21 at 10:00 in Châtellerault, followed by Arts Premiers & Civilisations on November 27 at 10:30 in Paris, and Monnaies, Bijoux & Mode on December 1 at 14:00 at Hôtel Drouot in Paris. All three are Drouot Live sales, and bidders can add lots to each one.

DognyAuction lists departments including Silver, Asian Art, Cars, Paintings & Sculpture, Clocks & Watches, Instruments de musique, Jewellery, Rugs & Textiles, Wines & Spirits and Collectibles, with its most distinctive offering likely its Cars category alongside fine silver and clocks. The house runs live online sales and accepts phone bids, with written "safety bids" recommended as a backup for bidders who may be unreachable during an auction.

Upcoming auctions include a special coin sale on Monday, November 16, 2026, with 215 lots, and a collector's auction on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, with 120 lots, both starting at 7:00 PM EST. The November 18 catalogue includes prints, paintings, watercolours, crystal and porcelain pieces, sculptures, autographed sports memorabilia, and vintage collectibles.

Cuckoo clocks lead the range: the shop calls itself a specialist with over 100 models in stock, and it also repairs and services cuckoos of brands such as Loetscher, Schneider, Hönes, Engstler and Hubert Herr. Alongside them, the Lausanne shop stocks Victorinox knives, Swiss bronze bells, handmade paper-cut frames (découpage) and music boxes, with Victorinox, Caran d'Ache and Swiss Military listed among the official brands it represents. The shop's own colour is its Swiss-themed gift catalogue, which ranges from a CHF 6.95 cow fridge magnet to a 3 CHF-plus stock of bottle-opener souvenirs.
