Steady demand for DPI "Russian enamel" is no surprise. Accustomed. And here is what grew the results for painting and drawing, which is the highest score of the evening shows in section, used books, is pleased

October 11, 2014 auction house "Russian enamel" opened the regular season monthly auction of Russian and Western European art. The auction catalogue is traditionally made decorative items-прикладного art, icons, lots of furniture, Cabinet sculpture and, of course, works of fine art — painting and grafica.

auction was Held, as always, raised in the atmosphere and lively audience participation, in which two o'clock gathered more than three dozen people. Moreover, one of the regular customers "Russian enamel" decided to make multiple purchases just a few hours before his own wedding — and appeared in the hall in all the splendour of the wedding dress. Say what you will, and look radiant bride in a white dress with a bouquet picks nastroenie.

auction Results, of course, put in the asset to the organizers. Compared with the previous auction "Russian enamel" in the segment of fine arts there is a good growth: paintings and drawings sold in more than one third — 33,9 % of 112 lots (against June 25 %). Moreover, the contribution of paintings and drawings in the total revenue of the auction this time amounted to 35.5 % (vs. 21 % in June). Just sold 107 of 279 lots directory totaling more than 1.6 million rubles. Most of all, 49 times, won the phone, 29 lots left in the room, 27 times played absentee rate and 2 times — Internet-биды.

Opened the auction section painting and drawing, where the most expensive lot was the "Winter landscape" E. Schwartz (lot 109). This classic winter forest, written at the turn of the nineteenth — XX centuries, went to the gym to start in 45 000 rubles. Another watercolor landscape, this time in the city, — Prague city" a N. Pilar (lot 64) was purchased at a starting part-time rate for 35, 000, which was the second by the section of fine iskusstva.

It's all treatments at the start, but there was a bargain — full-time and part-time. Thus, multiple absentee bids were made on the drawing graphite pencil on paper "mill" artist N. P. Krymov (lot 13). Previously estimated by organizers of trades in 18 000-30 000 lot went absentee buyer for 28 000 rubles. And the figure "Two women" a I. Laktionova (lot 16, estimate 10 000-15 000) and even doubled the estimated start and got a new owner for 20 000 rubles. Pretty stressful entered the drawing of small pastel on paper, "the girl with the unicorn" L A. Povzner (lot 88): 7 000 absentee start lot went to a telephone buyer to three times more expensive for 22 000 rubles. In addition, the success of the organizers can be considered the result of all of the strings autolithography T A. Degtereva (lots 78-85): 7 of 8 (with the exception of lot 83 — "Sretensky Boulevard") these are inexpensive, but lovely views of Moscow sold for a starting price of three different participants in the room and one phone pokupately.

String icons from 6 lots (117-122) was also dismantled almost completely and higher starting price (very small). More than anything else in this section absentee buyer has paid for the icon of St. Gury, St. Samon and St. Aviv" (estimate 12 500-15 000): 26 000 rubles from the correspondence of the start of 22,000 rubles. Remained unsold only pre-revolutionary working icon of the Kazan mother of God" in a silver frame (lot 120).

a Record figure of the day — 85 000 rubles— was the hammer price for two lots. First, this result showed porcelain table created in Germany on the Porcelain manufactory of Plague (former Porcelain factory von Schierholz) in 1967 (lot 217). DPI and porcelain long been a hallmark of the house "Russian enamel", items this category often constitute a large part of lots sold at its auctions. But furniture is found in the directories are not so often, especially of this quality. Style is without a doubt decorated the interior of the new owner, has gone without a fight, by correspondence start.

the Second auction 85 000 rubles became a sensation and, undoubtedly, the main event of the day in the "Russian enamel". Books are not the core area of this auction house, so the last two lot catalog — edition of "the Art treasures of Russia" A. Prahova and a Benoit (Imperial Society for the Encouragement of Arts, 1901-1903, lot 278) and the third volume of "Journey to the East of His Imperial Highness the sovereign, the heir to the throne, 1890-1891" E. E. Ukhtomsky (lot 279) were kind of a breakdown of the pen of the organizers of the auction. When the book Benoit went absentee buyer for 17 000 rubles from the start to 12 000, it became clear that the second book trades likely will take place. But what happened, it seems, nobody could have expected. Even in my wildest prognoza.

3-й including three volumes of the "Journey to the East of His Imperial Highness the sovereign, the heir to the throne, 1890-1891" on the auction put up with an estimate of 5 000-5 000. However, the trade for him was the most effective, longest and the largest number of participants (part-time rate, two of the Internet, two halls and a phone). With absentee start at 12 000 rubles the price of the lot, in steps of a few hundreds, and then thousands of rubles, reached first 80 000, and later, under the amazed comments of the hall, in the battle of telephone and Internet-участника rose to 85 000 (seven times higher than the start and 17 times more than the lower estimate). There is nothing similar in the history of the "Russian enamel" as-то and not remembered. In the end, lot went to the Internet, and its sale was the only transaction involving virtual pokupatela.

Word that ended the auction on a high note. Anyway, my first experience of working with the complex second-hand material explicitly managed. And perhaps, in the catalogue sections of the house "Russian enamel" used books in nedelnam time would take up more permanent place. And we will be happy to watch including for the development of this trend and will tell our chitatelyam.
