New Bares für Rares Episodes Show Big Appraisals, Mixed Sale Prices

Expert appraisals met uneven dealer demand.

Overview

  • Following Wednesday’s show, a signed 1997 ceramic figure bought for €50 drew a €700–€750 estimate yet sold for €450 after slow bidding.
  • A €5 flea‑market fish serving set, assessed Thursday as real silver likely by Peter Bruckmann around 1900, sold for €200 against a €200–€220 estimate.
  • Also Thursday, a gold bracelet with fine micromosaics dated to about 1830 sparked a fast contest and sold for €3,000, far above the seller’s €50 hope.
  • Experts tied value to clear attribution, age, technique, and condition, while dealers weighed resale risk and taste, which kept some bids muted and others brisk.
  • The ZDF show pairs scholarly valuations with live dealer offers, so outcomes often diverge from estimates, as seen with a brooch, lamp, and other lots that landed near or above guidance.
