While it is the largest-volume auction catalog in Moscow 2017: the drafters have incorporated 542 lot of painting, graphics, icons, porcelain, silver, jewelry and other objects of applied art.

during the three and a half hours went under the hammer 237 (43,73 %) of the 542 lots in the total amount of 8.39 million rubles, or 40% of the mean estimate of the directory. Most of all last Saturday I bought hall — 82 lot 46 lots went to telephone, 48 times played correspondence rates, and 61 have won the Internet-игроки.

Opening bids large (250 lots) section of fine arts showed quite usual for the "Russian enamel" in new hands took a little more than a third (79 of 250) lots. Total revenue is also not far from the figure of 30 % of the estimate section, and amounted to 3.7 million rubles or 44 % of total revenue of the day. Scenic top-лоты special passions are not aroused, but the graphics went quite well. In the end, 5 of the top 10 high scores of the evening were achieved in the section FROM.

the Most expensive works of easel art in this time were two graphic portrait of the outstanding artists of the first half of the twentieth century: the pastel "portrait of a Nude" by Robert Falk (lot 79, 980 thousand rubles) watercolor "Portrait of Anna Nikolaevna" Zinaida Serebryakova (lot 33, 480 thousand rubles.). Both lots on the left start to absentee buyers.

the Most expensive and picturesque work of the evening was a small landscape by Alexander Gerasimov, "East yard" (lot 111), sold for 200 thousand rubles at the start by absentee rate.

But that's all absentee purchases and no bargaining.

This protracted duel several players online and absentee buyer turned drawing graphic sketch cover to the book of Ilya Ehrenburg "the Extraordinary adventures of Horio Hornito and his disciples", created by Kirill Zdanevich in 1927 (lot 70). With 38 thousand rubles absentee rate rare picture of one of the most interesting representatives of the Russian Cubo-futurism, and more — avant-garde, got a new owner on the Internet almost 4 times more expensive — for 150 thousand rubles. For comparison, the most expensive work purchased the hall in the first part the bidding — watercolor "bathers" Alexander Shevchenko (lot 32), from the start to 89 thousand absentee rate watercolour rose to 92 thousand rubles.

string icons of the 13 lots were sold in half and fetched a total of 227 thousand rubles. The most expensive lot became the image of "Sveti Nikolay Chudotvorets" in the second half of the XX century (lot 256), purchased at a starting price of 115 thousand rubles online-участником.

Section silver of the 73 lots showed the usual"Russian enamel" 50% of lots sold, and over 1.1 million rubles of total revenue. Record hammer price for silver products steel 250 thousand rubles, given to one of the phone buyers for the sugar bowl gilded rocaille Curling in the style of work of the Moscow branch of the firm of K. fabergé 1899-1908 years (lot 311). In second place — kvasnik 1870, decorated with embossing, carvings and gilding in a style imitating products from bark (lot 332): 140 thousand rubles, start by absentee rate lot was purchased by phone for 170 thousand rubles. Made up the three most expensive items Thong bucket with painted enamels, Studio of Mikhail Zorin (lot 330), "software", if you remember the name of the auction house, the lot inherited by the buyer in the room за125 thousand rubles.

string jewelry the new owners went 19 of 34 lots, and total revenue amounted to slightly more than 500 thousand rubles. In addition to the usual recovery room and stable care of various brooches and pendants, this section was marked by several on the-настоящему tense and long rallies. So, for 140 thousand rubles, 50 thousand start by absentee rate, the hall was sold to the ring in pink gold with natural demantoid oval-cut (lot 362, estimate 18 to 30 thousand rubles). And quite inexplicable to me (and, given the relatively modest preliminary assessment of the lot for the organizers): once again, several participants in the hall of dozens of steps long fought for amber beads. Beads made of 21 large polished beads on a string (lot 348) with 10 thousand rubles start in the course of trade, rose 12 times and got a new owner for 120 thousand rubles. Next, 349 lot with beads of a much smaller diameter of the stones (without a lock) was estimated modest — 5-10 thousand rubles. But he, in the struggle phone player and several participants in the hall, went far (almost 9 times!) higher than the start — in 44 thousand roubles.

105,5 % his average estimate was brought to the organizers extensive string porcelain: revenue for 51 of the 77 lots sold Thong in the total amount of nearly 1.9 million rubles. In fairness we have to admit that the lion's share of all this revenue, sales came in just one lot. '. A sensation and a record of the day ended with the drawing of the candlestick "mermaid" produced by the Leningrad porcelain factory in the 1920s-е years by sculptor-керамиста Natalia Yakovlevna Danko (lot 443). With the launch of 95 thousand rubles, in the struggle of the three buyers on the phone and the party in the hall, porcelain candle holder was sold for an incredible 1 million 100 thousand rubles. To the applause of the victory party in the hall.

note that the hammer price — third result for porcelain on the "Russian enamel" in the entire history of observations and the highest price for a subjectthis category since the legendary already 5-го auction "Russian enamel" in may 2013, where the figure Juon bought for 76 million rubles.

In addition, special mention is given to the drawing of beautiful faceted glass manganese glass with gold production of the Imperial glass factory.
