Overview

  • In a June 30 show, seller Benjamin sold a 19th-century bronze eagle lectern for €3,100—nearly four times the €600–€800 expert valuation.
  • Hamburg contestant Dirk secured €4,000 for a pre-1850 Dutch diamond brooch, slightly below the €5,000 expert appraisal.
  • During a “Lieblingsstücke” special, a 1940s Patek Philippe Calatrava fetched €8,000—well within its €7,500–€9,000 estimate and requiring a bank transfer for the balance.
  • Angelika’s Dior competition necklace, pegged at €250–€330, attracted fierce bidding before a €760 sale.
  • All five dealers pooled offers to settle at €300 for Jasmin Conrad’s Polly Pocket collection, matching the lower end of its €300–€500 estimate.
