The Facts
Aguttes announced on September 18, 2026, that Enguerran Molmy has joined the firm as head of its Musical Instruments & Bows department, succeeding Hector Chemelle. Molmy, a native of Pas-de-Calais, holds dual master's degrees in law and art history from Panthéon-Sorbonne University and previously worked at a dealer specializing in exceptional guitars, where he developed expertise in instrument history, condition, and market dynamics. He is now available for confidential appraisals and personalized client support.
The Signal
The appointment signals Aguttes' continued investment in a department launched in the first half of 2023, which assists musicians, soloists, instrument makers, dealers, collectors, and investors with appraisals, promotion, and sales. For collectors and musicians, Molmy's combination of legal training and hands-on experience with stringed instruments suggests a rigorous, historically informed approach to valuation. His arrival may strengthen Aguttes' position in the niche but growing market for fine instruments, where provenance and condition are paramount.
