Overview
- On Jan. 11, a set of Bergkristall replicas of famous diamonds by Emil Juchem sold for €1,700 to Elke Velten‑Tönnies after Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz bickered with the seller and dropped out, below the expert’s €1,800–€2,300 estimate.
- Expert Friederike Werner deemed an Art‑Déco‑style cat lamp a modern recast with a fake mark and no genuine patina, leading host Horst Lichter to deny a dealer card and send the pair home.
- A hand‑cut snake‑shaped inkwell by William Hutton & Sons, valued at €800–€1,000 by Dr. Bianca Berding against the owner’s €100 wish, sold in the dealer room for €650.
- A 1974 Braun “Drymatic” travel dryer passed a live function test and was bought by dealer Markus Wildhagen for €60 after a €100 appraisal.
- An 80‑piece 800‑silver cutlery set appraised around €3,500 drew bids up to €3,100, but the owner rejected the offers and left the studio with the case.
