Overview
- The week’s standout sale was a 19th‑century enamel ring that sparked rapid bidding and went to dealer Susanne Steiger for €1,100 after a colleague jokingly misheard her “900, 1,000” as €900,000.
- An apparent 1966 Monaco Grand Prix poster was identified by expert Detlev Kümmel as a reproduction with printed signatures, so no dealer card was issued and the sale was stopped.
- Host Horst Lichter withheld the dealer card for an Alfred Wahlberg seascape after expert Colmar Schulte‑Goltz valued it at €2,200–2,500, below the sellers’ minimum of roughly €2,950.
- A c.1900–1910 bronze bust received a €2,800–3,400 estimate but drew bids as low as €600, leading the owners to withdraw the piece and keep it in the family.
- A century‑old steel and brass cash box fetched €220 thanks to its rare four‑language instruction sheet, while a Ralph McQuarrie Star Wars concept‑print portfolio climbed to €250 in the dealer room.
