Auction Sales
The bidders are invited to make themselves known to the Auction House CAZO before the sale to ensure that their personal details are recorded. Bidders are generally present in the room. If it is impossible for the bidder to be present at the auction room he could place an absentee bid in writing or bid by telephone, or may use the form, intended for this purpose, to be found at the end of the sale catalogue or on the website www.cazo.fr. The form should be sent to the Auction House CAZO together with a bank identification slip [RIB in France] or bank details at least two days before the sale.
