Bares für Rares Delivers Fresh Surprises as Pastor’s Brooch Sells for €1,500

Recent episodes underscore dealer-shaped outcomes through aggressive bidding with inventive refurbishments.

Overview

  • Pastor Katrin Püschel brought a Portuguese-style brooch dated around 1938 that expert Wendela Horz valued at €1,500–€1,800 after she initially hoped for €150, and dealer Sarah Schreiber bought it for €1,500.
  • A 300-year-old silver Münzkrug attributed to Breslau silversmith Ferdinand Griesche was estimated at €3,000–€3,500 by expert Bianca Berding and went to dealer Fabian Kahl for €3,000.
  • A Meissen-marked porcelain jewellery casket dated to around 1900 was appraised at €1,800–€2,100 by Colmar Schulte-Goltz, yet Fabian Kahl won it for €3,200 after a bidding contest.
  • In a Händlerstücke segment, Wolfgang Pauritsch converted a silver enamel wall plate bought for €750 into a weather station, budgeting €150 for instruments and €300 for expert work, with a planned offer price of €1,900.
  • Dealer Fabian Kahl highlighted a retail gap by noting that many jewellery shops mostly stock pieces for women, leaving limited options for male customers.
