Overview
- Music student Cedric Höller brought a Mendelssohn first-edition score valued at about €400, then declined a €300 offer after dealers urged him to keep the piece and left without selling.
- A purported Gallé glass vase was identified as a modern forgery, and the sellers were told it would not go to the Händlerraum.
- Competitive bidding produced headline buys, including Wolfgang Pauritsch winning a Loetz Witwe Jugendstil vase for €1,600 after a duel with Fabian Kahl.
- Händlerstücke segments highlighted repurposing plays, with Markus Wildhagen turning a €4,650 ship’s spotlight into a rolling disco light he aims to sell for €6,800, and Pauritsch converting an enamel plate into a weather station with a €1,900 target.
- Valuation gaps drove outcomes: three gym apparatus sought at €4,000–€5,000 sold as a group for €900 for charity, a Berkel scale hoped at €2,500 fetched €210 after a €150–€250 estimate, while a silver-enamel cigarette case beat guidance at €550.
