Overview
- A Gallé‑signed vase brought by Thyra Lynn Goldammer was judged a later copy, prompting Horst Lichter to deny a dealer card and send it back.
- Patrick Lessmann questioned receipts for a white‑gold jewellery set, cutting the estimate to €450–500 before Susanne Steiger purchased it for €550.
- Two other segments underscored the appraisal‑to‑sale gap: a certified 2.24‑carat ring estimated at €10,000–11,000 sold for €6,500, and a Niki de Saint Phalle frog brooch bought for a few euros achieved €420.
- A purported Birmingham silver service lacked the hallmarking lion, leading to a valuation of €800–1,000 and the disappointed sellers leaving without a deal.
- The show's Instagram account posted meme‑style, out‑of‑character content that fueled hack speculation, and there has been no official explanation.
