Overview

• An Art Deco–era 3.24‑carat diamond ring drew a bidding duel before selling to Susanne Steiger for €16,000 after an expert estimate of €12,000 to €14,000.
• A 19th‑century bronze of Admiral Philippe Chabot, estimated at €1,800 to €2,200, fetched €4,000 from dealer Daniel Meyer as traders praised its quality.
• A 150‑year‑old gold brooch sparked on‑air friction between dealers before Fabian Kahl bought it for €1,900, beating an €800 to €1,000 valuation and the seller’s €300 wish.
• A Steiff fabric dragon from the 1950s–60s changed hands for €110 after a last‑second switch when one dealer fumbled for his wallet and a rival stepped in.
• A large mahogany studio camera raised protected‑wood concerns, but the expert confirmed its pre‑ban age and it sold for €700, aligning with the €600 to €900 appraisal.
