Founded in 1928, the Paris-based Millon Auction House has offices in Nice (France), Brussels and many other European cities. Its headquarters is located at Drouot Auction Center in the 9th Arrondissement of Paris. This is the auction house that holds the valuable imperial golden seal of the Nguyen Dynasty's Emperor Minh Mang. The seal was successfully brought back to Vietnam at the end of 2023.

The auction house has collected antiques, rare artifacts, and works of art, constantly searched and introduced to the market precious works of famous Vietnamese artists or of French professors who drew paintings about Vietnam since 1925.

In 2021, Millon successfully auctioned the lacquer work ‘Landscape of Phnom Penh Cambodia’ by artist Le Quoc Loc for more than EUR 1.2 million. In addition, many precious works by artists Pham Hau, Le Pho, Vu Cao Dam, and Mai Trung Thu have also been successfully auctioned at high prices by this auction house.
