Major guitar auctions in the EU?

[lesyeuxnoirs]

A bit of a strange request and I am not sure where to put it, and so apologies if this is in the wrong place

But is anybody aware of/does anybody have experience of any 'major' guitar auctions in the EU?

I am helping somebody's widow move their guitar collection along. Sadly, there are no unambiguous Jazz boxes in there, otherwise I would be offering them up here. There is lots of high-end Fender, Rickenbacker etc. that may be of interest but it would be a pain to sell them one-by-one, and so I am considering approaching an auction house.

I am aware of the Gardiner-Houlgate auctions the UK that we discuss on here from time to time, but I am looking for something in the European Union - ideally in or near to the Netherlands. This isn't a 'jazz-specific' request, I am afraid. But given that we are an international community; I thought somebody might be able to help

Thanks in advance

This one is in France (in EU but not so near from Netherlands)
Accueil - Vichy Encheres
They sometimes have nice collections of all kind of guitars for auction
No personal experience with them, though
Good luck with this sale

Thank you!

That's a good option - and France works well for me

There‘s a great secon hand dealer in Paderborn, Germany. Bigfoot Guitars, they will buy a whole collection for sure and usually make decent prices. Alternatively, they‘d sell on commission

And there is also the Fellowship of Acoustics (TFoA.eu) in the Netherlands that will sell on consignment and who attracts a high-end clientele.
