Bares für Rares Week Delivers Big Revaluations and Bidding Surprises

Fresh episodes underscore expert attributions driving price jumps, with dealer appetite setting the final mark.

Overview

  • A 19th‑century diamond brooch with roughly ten carats in Dutch rose cuts was taxied at €5,000 and sold to Susanne Steiger for €4,000, far above the seller’s €500 hope.
  • Pastor Katrin Püschel’s Portuguese brooch in high‑karat gold with amethysts, diamonds, seed pearls and a large cultured pearl drew a €1,500–€1,800 estimate and sold to Sarah Schreiber for €1,500.
  • An expert dated a silver Münzkrug to 1727–1737 by Breslau silversmith Ferdinand Griesche, lifting expectations from €500 to a €3,000–€3,500 range before Fabian Kahl bought it for €3,000.
  • Dealers topped guidance on a Meissen jewelry casket from around 1900, as Fabian Kahl won a bidding tussle at €3,200 over an €1,800–€2,100 valuation.
  • Dealer creativity and show moments also drew notice, with ‘Händlerstücke’ conversions such as a silver enamel plate into a weather station and a ship’s spotlight into a disco light, plus a last‑second seller withdrawal of Steiff toys and Fabian Kahl’s on‑air remark about scarce men’s jewelry options.
