Overview
- Late-September episodes of ZDF’s Bares für Rares produced mixed results as experts attributed provenance and gave price ranges before dealers set final sale values.
- A bronze identified as a small Hubert Netzer work was appraised at €800–€1,000 and sold for €2,000 after competitive bidding, surprising the seller.
- A Zenith ladies’ wristwatch judged in very good condition fetched €2,850 from dealer Susanne Steiger, exceeding the seller’s expectation.
- Other outcomes were variable: a Franco Lapini silvered champagne cooler and a Wifredo Lam‑signed tile sold above expert estimates, while a Kaiser ceramic floor lamp sold for €350 and Hutschenreuther porcelain figures failed to attract a buyer at the seller’s €700 ask.
- The episodes underline how signatures, maker marks and on‑set dealer tactics determine final prices, leaving some sellers with unexpected gains and others taking items back or settling for lower offers.
