Overview
- An expert determined several purported Lalique/Nina Ricci perfume flacons were counterfeits, so the seller was denied access to the dealer room.
- A sculpture bearing a Gladenbeck & Sohn signature proved to be a zinc cast with a forged mark, prompting Horst Lichter to stop the sale.
- Sky‑high expectations were reset when a landscape with a jokingly cited €800,000 wish moved for €800 to Wolfgang Pauritsch.
- A couple withdrew a sapphire ring after expert Heide Rezepa‑Zabel valued it at €3,000–3,500 versus their €12,000 target, citing market shifts since the 1990s.
- Dealers showed both aggressive and sentimental pricing as a cat tin fetched €800 against a €50 ask, a vintage camera drew €400 to win a smile, and a €500 Murano lamp arrived damaged and was repurposed into four saleable pieces.
