Overview

• Ferdinand Resul Adanir joined the dealer panel in early July, outbidding his peers for a 1964 Dior brooch and earning applause for his assertive approach.
• Expert Friederike Werner authenticated a presumed newspaper opener as an 1883 English ivory and walrus-tooth Paper Knife, which fetched €560 after a heated bidding duel.
• A Dutch-Capri oil painting once destined for the bin drew competitive offers before Wolfgang Pauritsch secured it for €470, nearly doubling its €250–350 valuation.
• Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz paid €830 for a 1930s Hamelner brewery enamel sign, significantly surpassing its €500–600 expert estimate.
• A 1970s Murano glass lamp estimated at €700–900 commanded €1,550 from Markus Wildhagen, more than tripling the seller’s expectations.
