Dear Customers,
Since Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 09:00, the entire world can log onto Expertissim.com! From New York to Singapore to Buenos Aires, you can now track, check, sell or buy your favorite appraised antiques and many other works of art around the globe with the same ease of navigation. All our references such as furniture, jewelry, bronzes, old paintings and design objects benefit from an image viewer in high definition that is smoother and faster.
Previously, the site was based in France, neighboring connections were more in use. So for example, it took eight times more longer to consult a page for a work of art from Tokyo than in Paris! Today, the time display is the same everywhere.
To standardize our system and extend it to everyone, our developers have used the technique of “cloud computing”. It involves duplicating our content on internet servers distributed worldwide.
Thank you for your time and interest,
Aymeric PHILIPON
Head of Marketing
