Overview
- A rare Karl‑Heinz Krause bronze titled “Großer Torso” was valued up to €16,000 and sold to dealer Daniel Meyer for €9,500, with €2,500 paid in cash on set and the balance agreed by bank transfer due to insufficient cash on hand.
- An enamel cat‑motif silver box dated to late 19th‑century Vienna exceeded expectations as Fabian Kahl paid €800 against a €400–500 estimate, far above the seller’s €50 wish.
- Authenticity safeguards halted sales when a supposed bronze Amazon on horseback proved to be zinc with a falsified Gladenbeck mark, and when perfume flacons presented by actress Cosima Viola were deemed imitations, resulting in no dealer access.
- Expert valuations continued to reset expectations as a sapphire ring estimated at €3,000–3,500 against a €12,000 wish and other artworks led some sellers to walk away or accept below‑estimate offers after restoration costs were weighed.
- Dealers highlighted post‑show strategies, with Lisa Nüdling reworking a €750 collier into earrings to offer at €2,300, while other negotiations saw a vintage camera pushed to €400 after the buyer bid against himself and antique silverware climbed to €350, more than doubling the wish price.
