During the preview, all objects that are called for can be inspected and appraised on our premises for five days. The preview takes place one week before the auction on Saturdays to Wednesdays (also on Sundays) from 10.00 to 18.00. Admission is free of charge. Our experts and our staff will be happy to advise you. If you do not have the opportunity to visit our preview in person, we will be happy to advise you by telephone and send you digital photos on request.

The auctions start on Friday and Saturday from 11.00 am. The auctioneers try to auction approx. 170 - 200 lots per hour. This information is non-binding and cannot be asserted as an assurance. The objects are called up in strictly numerical order of the catalogue numbers at the limit prices listed in the catalog. As a rule, an auction is conducted in 10% steps, whereby the auctioneer reserves the right to deviate from the sequence of the auction.
