| The prices of the Silver and Objets d’Art came in rather higher. Of the eight Baroque South German silver-gilt standing cups, seven went to new owners. The highest price was reached by the “Traubenpokal” (standing cup made in the form of a bunch of grapes) made by the Nuremberg master Adam Richter from 1592 at CHF 42 000 (lot 1706). A standing cup and cover by Michael Müller (1612 to 1650) made CHF 33 600 (lot 1714) and CHF 31 200 was made for the cup and cover by the master Wolf Linden, who also worked in Nuremberg between 1638 and 1671 (lot 1716). The Fabergé teapot which was made in Moscow between 1899 and 1908 made a price of CHF 12 000, which was just above the upper estimate (lot 1866). On the other hand, Lot 1872 rose unexpectedly. The silver bowl (Kovsch) in the style of Fabergé with a top estimate of CHF 4 000 went to a new owner for CHF 20 400. A bottle cooler from 1973 by the Paris company Odiot estimated at CHF 4 000, went for CHF 12 000 (lot 1867). | |
