Auction proceeds "House antique books in Nikitsky" November 22 was 138%of the average total estimate - mainly due to a large number of part-time rates are substantially above preliminary assessment of lots

November 22 in the "House of the Nikitsky antiquarian book" took eighth auction of books, manuscripts and autographs, as well as prints, posters, photographs, magazines and newspapers. This book trades, as always, pleased consistently of participants in the room, their sense of humor, dynamic maintenance of auction Elena Mountain and consistently good results. Of 567 lots left 295 (52%). Revenue reached RUR 21.44 million - 138%of the average of the total 15.5 million estimate.

characteristic feature of this auction was a huge amount of correspondence bidi - by absentee rates were 163 lots sold (55%). And on many items of correspondence rates were few, and began leading with the largest of them. Because of this, the starting price was often by 60-70%, and even double the estimate. Passion Parties in the hall such pricing policies, of course, does not add, that dozens of lots left without bargaining to absentee buyers. In terms of the auction revenue is certainly good, but that in terms of the auction action - such as unsportsmanlike. Nothing can be done, such correspondence bet we are left - justified leading to dissatisfied. However, on some phones thong winning time students. Total telephone customers was bought 58 lots (20%). And somewhere in the middle of the trading intensified and lounge, where they began to buy more and more expensive as new arrivals and those who watched the bids from the start. Out of about 30 people gathered in the hall, it was 10.12 buyers, and somewhere half of them proved to be very active.

The first section, "On the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 , "became one of the most successful. Of the 33 lots were purchased by 25 - most of them with a 2-3-fold excess of the estimate. Began to trade with solid absentee rates, but a fan of the theme of the war of 1812, which spoke by telephone Sergei Burmistrov, did not intend to assign external students. In the end, he got 16 lots thongs, 8 lots received correspondence Bidder, and only one lot cut off party in the hall. The most expensive lot was the section 6-volume edition of "The Emperor Alexander I and his associates in 1812, 1813, 1814, 1815: Military Gallery of the Winter Palace" A. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky "(lot 25). This is a gorgeous collection of biographies and engraved portraits of Russian generals - members of the war in 1812, while the estimate of 800-900 thousand purchased by absentee rate of 1.4 million rubles. And the hottest bargaining between buyer and telephone absentee bid for the lot had a 24 - 5-volume edition of the 1844 "History of Napoleon," Nicholas Field. Measured at 80-110 thousand this historical work, bought for 480 thousand rubles - again on a correspondence rate. The total revenue was $ 4.1 Thong million - significantly higher than the sum of the upper estimate 2.55 million.

In the next section," To 400th anniversary of the Romanovs "(lots 34-54), of the 21 lots bought 10, and mostly by absentee rates (7 lots). The picture turned back about the same: the excess up to 2 times estimeyty, competition with telephone, feeble attempts to join the struggle of the hall (the hall left one lot). Revenue Thong 962,000 rubles has not held up slightly lower estimate of 1.1 million.

Hall became more active on three small thong "History of the Caucasus" (lots 55-71), "Genealogical antiquity "(lots 72-92) and" The History of a split "(lots 93-101). Of the 19 sold in the three sections of lots in the room went "much" 8. Any notable sales were not here, except that the composition of the student of the Kiev Theological Academy Orest Novitsky "On the Doukhobors" (lot 93), while the estimate 70-80 thousand rubles spent on absentee rate per 200,000.

Then began a kind of hodgepodge of books on history, philosophy, religion, law, and art (lots 102-305). Here, again, almost always win zaochku. Of the 125 lots purchased in section 79 have gone on absentee rates, and all (with rare exceptions) - exceeding the estimate. Lead has become joke that plays with itself, and some very Utomi members decided to break your own personal cocktail party in the next room. But here somewhere with a lot of 240th began to appear not involved absentee bidami edition, and here bibliophiles in the room came to life. And though not always it was a lot of money, but traded with passion and multiple participants. Many, having made his first purchase for the evening, somehow cheered. Sounded fun. For example, when a book of Daniel Defoe's "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe natural Englishman" (lot 313) began trading with zaochku party in the hall, his friend rightly observed that "this is a children's book." He answered no less convincingly, "Yes, I like Robinson Crusoe." But the book is still leaked correspondence to the buyer.

most interesting thing started when they came to one of my favorite topics bibliophilic - lifetime editions of our classics (this string of "Art Edition", Lots 313 - 392). There really room was ready to fight with the phone and absentee bids. This duel between the party in the hall and started for the absentee buyer lifetime edition of "Boris Godunov" Pushkin (lot 329): ignoring estimate 300-350 thousand, started with 800,000, and in a few steps came to the hammer price 1.7 million rubles. But still won the absentee buyer.

Perhaps the biggest splash purchasing activity for the evening called the almanac "Housewarming" with intravital publications Zhukovsky, Pushkin, Krylov Baratynskii, Gogol and many of our classics (lot 331). This publication is in two parts, was released in the years 1833-1834 on the initiative of VA Zhukovsky after AF Smirdin on the occasion of his move bookstore on Nevsky Prospekt. Almanac for the assessment of 120-140 thousand rubles traded three participants in the room, one telephone and correspondence rate. Defeated party in the hall, offered 750 thousand rubles.

Another publication in his lifetime - a collection of "Poems of a beautiful lady" autographed Blok (Lot 362) - from 150-180 thousand dotorgovali up to 460 thousand rubles. And again won the buyer in the room. A few lots of the first book of poems by Sergei Yesenin "Radunitsa" (1916) and pasted it autographed by the poem "In the autumn kychet owl" went to have a phone buyer for 800,000 rubles (while the estimate of 150-180 thousand rubles).

Thong magazines and newspapers XIX-XX centuries. (Lots 393-487) auction of passion again subsided. Of the 93 periodicals were sold 23, half of the participants from the audience moved to long cocktail party, and those that were still in the room, fun jokes, quips. It should pay tribute to the heroism of the leading Elena, do not slow down the pace of trading all the time, despite all sorts of red herrings "combat detachment merry" (so-called first and only issue a satirical magazine in 1921, sold as lot 443, but for me, this definition is fit and avid visitors auctions Nikitsky). As a result, 567 lots were told off leading clearly in two hours and change. One can only congratulate Elena with an enviable record, and organizers of trade - with another good result.
