ASTA was founded by Vincent BRONZINI DE CARAFFA, a Corsican auctioneer, out of a desire to offer a service that had long been lacking in Corsica, by conducting auctions in collaboration with DROUOT PARIS, of which the company is a shareholder.

Since his appointment, Vincent Bronzini de Caraffa has quickly become sought after on his island for appraisals and auctions of jewelry, watches, furniture, and objets d’art; paintings (modern, antique, Corsican, etc.); sculptures; books and manuscripts—both antique and modern; and fashion.

The establishment of ASTA is therefore largely due to Corsicans’ interest in auctions and their need for a service that had never before existed in Corsica.

Although the firm is based in Bastia, ASTA travels by appointment or during the frequent free and confidential appraisal days held regularly throughout Corsica (Bastia, Ajaccio, Porto-Vecchio, Calvi, Ile-Rousse, Corte, Propriano, Sartene, Bonifacio).
ASTA welcomes you at its offices by appointment or will visit your home for confidential appraisals. Please schedule an appointment by email (etude@asta-encheres.com) or by phone at 04 95 55 64 75.

You can also contact us by email to get an initial assessment of your items by sending us photographs; we will respond as soon as possible.
