Overview
- Dealer Daniel Meyer agreed to buy a rare Karl-Heinz Krause bronze for €9,500 but lacked sufficient cash, paying €2,500 immediately with the balance by bank transfer.
- An Amazon-on-horseback sculpture was barred from sale after experts identified zinc casting with a likely forged Gladenbeck signature, and no dealer card was issued.
- Ex-Lindenstraße actor Cosima Viola learned her inherited perfume flacons were imitations described as fakes, which kept the items out of the dealer room.
- A Murano lamp purchased for €500 arrived further damaged in transit; restorers split it into four new pieces that the buyer expects to resell for roughly €2,400–€2,500.
- Price tensions dominated deals: a sapphire ring owner walked after a €3,000–€3,500 estimate undercut a €12,000 hope, a cat-themed enamel box fetched €800 against a €400–€500 estimate, and paintings and vintage toys sold only after tough haggling below expert valuations.
