Bares für Rares

Overview

  • A 1970s white gold ring set with eight diamonds and sapphires drew heated interest in the dealer room and fetched €1,000.
  • A 1972 bronze figure by artist Bele Bachem was correctly identified and sold for €920 after expert attribution.
  • A vintage safe far exceeded owner expectations when dealers bid it to €2,000 despite lower initial estimates.
  • Some sellers faced disappointment from low expert appraisals on items like a 1913 Wilhelm II shellac record and a porcelain figurine, prompting a few to withdraw their sales.
  • Discoveries ranging from a 1940s medical nierenförmige flask to an 1875 trigonometrical slide rule underscored the show’s knack for unearthing hidden histories.
