Yesterday auction house "KABINET" held one of its largest antiquarian auction "Old and rare books, etchings, photographs".

the auction Catalog for the convenience of customers was divided into two parts and contained a total of 569 lots. In the first part (covering 475 positions) were presented books, photographs, albums, and posters, among which there are true rarities like album of 100 hand-painted pictures of types of Ural Mining railway 1883-1885 gg (lot 80, estimate 1 600 000-2 000 000) or one of 400 copies of a four-volume historical essay by Nikolai Kutepov's "Tsarskaya Okhota in Russia", published in the years 1896-1911, with illustrations V.

the Second part of the catalogue (lots 476-568) were composed entirely of prints, posters and kinoafisha@

this time the Cabinet had decided to meet the desire of buyers and the demand of the time and included a catalog of about 150 lots (postcards, posters, prints) related to the history of the First world war, highlighting them into several separate strings. In addition, separate groups selling various printed materials (posters, leaflets) in the first half of the twentieth century, as well as various movie times, a satirical posters and leaflets in the middle of the last veka@

Similar approach to the selection of lots, focused primarily on the interests and expectations of potential buyers, as well as on a thorough knowledge of your target audience, always gives a positive result.

The result in monetary terms is even better — 57,21 % of the mean estimate (23 million). Very good (and stable, which is important in our time), much of which, I must say, ensured an auction for prints, posters and other printed graphics. In the drawing of these lots in the second part of the auction showed the highest activity hall, crept to the end 144 of the lot, the phone won 104 times, absentee bid won 39 of 64 RS@

Started the auction at a fairly relaxed pace, it seemed that the end of the XVIII edition of — second half of the nineteenth century, approximately the first quarter of the catalog, did not arouse much enthusiasm among the three dozen people gathered in the auction hall. However, the first major auction, which doubled the starting amount was already for the third lot: "the News of the events between Nadir Shah and his eldest son Reza-Кулы-Мирзою, sad adventures in Persia 1741 and 1742 of years..."

the Famous book of N. I. Kutepov, a real masterpiece of the printing art of the late XIX @ & mdash; early XX century was not only the high estimate of the catalog, but the biggest result of the evening. Started with 2 400 000 rubles, and then two bidders in the room and two phones, moving the steps, a half step, raised the price of the edition up to 3 400 000 rubles. It is for this sum four-volume the got the winner in sale@

Another impressive fight (not by price, but for the duration of the fight) turned around 180 for the lot.
