Overview
- An 1896 Berlin industrial‑exhibition panorama found for €2 was expert‑valued at €400–450 and sold to dealer Julian Schmitz‑Avila for €250, a 125‑fold return for the finder.
- Schmitz‑Avila also won a rare Carl Moritz Mädler leather set after brisk bidding, paying €1,500 as dealers cited its scarcity and condition.
- An early‑20th‑century platinum set with old‑cut diamonds and sapphires, estimated at €2,800–3,000, sold in the dealer room for €2,000 despite a previous outside appraisal cited by the owners.
- A Christus painting identified by expert Friederike Werner as a c.1920 work by Swiss artist Adolf Frey‑Moock carried a €2,000 estimate and drew bids up to €1,400 before selling.
- In Händlerstücke segments, Markus Wildhagen turned a €4,650 ship searchlight into a disco‑style stage light he plans to offer for €6,800, while Wolfgang Pauritsch converted a €750 enamel wall plate into a weather station with a €1,900 asking price.
