Participation of different categories of customers was as follows: the Internet went lot 104 (44% of all sold); hall got 60 lots, or 26 %; the phone and zaochku won, respectively, 37 and 32 lots (16% and 14 %). Three hours of the auction time the audience in the hall and on the Internet (there is such a category — watching the auction online, but not registering) has seen many exciting auction lots.

let's Start with the most expensive called Western-style top-лотами. Under the eighth room, exhibited a rare edition of the work of the French scientist Peter Gosta "the Art of war fleets or the Composition of marine evolucia..." translated by Ivan Golenishchev-Кутузова (SPb.: When the Gentry Sea Cadet corps, 1764). This book was the first and only long time common in the Russian Empire manual of naval tactics. Russian auction "the Art of war fleets" was exhibited for the first time, so manifested online@phone - and parties of interest is not surprising. Bidding started with 2.2 million rubles on the Internet and in steps of 200 thousand rubles was reached as a result of level of 2.8 million rubles. Lot won a phone buyer.

Another top-лот — no less rare — 14-метровый (!) scroll with the panorama of Nevsky prospect (St. Petersburg.: Ed. Prevost, 1830-1835. ≈ 1410 × 21 cm). Such lithographic panoramas were popular at the time of Gogol and Pushkin, they decorated their homes and gave to family and friends. It is known, for example, that such a panorama in 1836 N. Gogol was sent as a gift to his mother. Presented for auction a copy of the panorama is duplicated on the fabric, purchased for 1.5 million rubles a phone buyer (estimate for the lot is 1.4–1.5 million rubles.).

Traditionally popular among buyers were the autographs of Silver age poets. Three lot associated with Anna Akhmatova, entered the top-10 lots of the auction "KABINET" on March 15. The most expensive was a collection that included the first book of poems, "Evening" (300 copies) and the first edition of the second book of Akhmatova's "Rosary", an early copy of "Poem without a hero" and other publications — a total of 13 positions. Of particular interest is here the autograph fragment of the poem "celebrate the Anniversary of a truly" dedicated to the beloved Akhmatova, Vladimir Garshinu. For this collection the buyer on the phone paid 1.7 million rubles (estimate of 1.6–1.7 million rubles.). Then over 700 thousand rubles (estimate 650-700 thousand rubles) phone player was acquired by another typewritten copy of the "Poem without a hero" with the author's corrections and insertions. And finally, for 330 thousand rubles at the start of 280 thousand rubles to the player online left the manuscript Akhmatova on two sheets with the materials for his autobiography, dated, presumably, 1963.

One of the most spectacular disputes broke out for the autograph of Osip Mandelstam 1911 on the notes of a Beethoven Opera "Fidelio". In a dedicatory inscription of a certain "Alexandra Alexandrovna," Mandelstam is quoted in slightly modified form in a stanza from his poem "Unspeakable sadness" in 1909: "a Little red wine... / a Little sunlight may / And stretched reviving / Finest-toes white" (in later editions the third line sounds like "and a thin biscuit breaking"). In the struggle for an autograph he joined one of the regular collectors of autographs Silver age in the gym and a competitor in the Internet. Given the lower estimate of 300 thousand rubles. the auction however was started immediately with 420 thousand RUB over Steps 10-20-25 thousand RUB reached 525 thousand. At this moment online-игрок hesitated. Prolonged pause hall said: "for the calculator went". Made the same return rate of 550 thousand rubles. regarded as "calculator found", which means that the auction can continue. The final result — 675 thousand RUB — is more than two times the upper estimeyt (320 thousand rubles). Lot after a long struggle got a full-time buyer.

Another autograph — even double — played again between the Internet and your room. Talking about the autographs of Vladimir Mayakovsky and David Burliuk on the title page of the book of Mayakovsky "About it" (lot 254). Dedication Mayakovsky, David Davidovich (inskript poet called it "Dadichi") in 1961 sent Tambov collector and its enthusiastic admirer of Nikolai A. Nikiforov (Nikiforov-Бурлюку, 1914-2003), noted that "they [the autographs] I still seem to have two of the same years, when he [Mayakovsky] was torn in America." The lot for 420 thousand. acquired a full-time buyer (estimated 400-420 thousand RUB).

Over 600 thousand. at the start the player in the hall was bought by a sheet with figures and signed: "Painted Joseph Brodsky to the New 66-му year." The poet dedicated the pictures to your friends — family Anovich-Ольшевских, in whose house on the Big Ordynka often. On the back of the sheet a poem: "New year / Christmas For someone. / For whom the darkness. / New year, for whom the Continuation of life", referring to the period of time when Brodsky was sentenced to 5 years forced labor for "parasitism". Punishment to the poet, however, managed to avoid taking a job in Gruppkom translators of the Leningrad branch of the Union of Soviet writers. By the way, the same autograph in the fall of 2015 are already sold on the bid — however, at that time, the hammer price amounted to 2.4 million rubles to pay tribute to the deliverer, appointed with an adequate estimate in the changed in the three years the economic situation.

in Addition to the guaranteed hits, we will mention a few and lots, whose rapid price increase was a surprise if not for the participants, apparently, for the organizers, as designated prior to bidding estimate these lots failed to beat in 11-13 times. This, in-первых, a copy of the alphabet A. Gorobets "From the village" 1922, composed by advanced for that time the method of whole words. Alphabet, and even more so rare (was offered for sale at the first edition of — "for sale not find") are subject to ongoing collective interest of a small group of collectors. This time interested had two. But it was enough to exceed the rating of the lot 35-37 thousand rubles. in 11 times! Traded by phone. The lot was awarded to the winner, over 420 thousand.

Closes the top ten most expensive lots of second-hand auction "Cabinet" 15 Mar unexpected top-лот. Sometimes the choice of second-hand preferences of the participants can be very exotic. I think very few people have seen what can one small (96 pages) book 1901 edition dedicated to the topic of circumcision. Yes, you read that correctly. The book doctor Months. V. Pogorel'skogo "Circumcision. The origin, use and production of this operation" (3-е ed. additional SPb.: Type. E. Arngold, 1901. 96 p 19 × 12 cm) traded multiple online-игроков. Yes with some passion bargain! Those who followed the auction online, said that the number watching the online auction has exceeded one hundred people. Of them was of the participants was 64, and the rest was, apparently, just wondering how it will end. Full-time participants this time took the position of observers and commentators. A lot of jokes was released in the address books of Dr. Pogorelsky and want to buy it, but to quote these comments will refrain — for reasons of censorship. In the end, with the launch of 15 thousand rubles. the price of a hammer increased to 200 thousand rubles., i.e. the lower estimate was exceeded 13 times. The winner, of course, is to congratulate you on the acquisition of such demand, as it turned out, benefits.

many thongs still would be possible to write: sell antique maps, Soviet posters of 1920-х years, Russian political posters 1990-х, etc. But, the "spread here mysyu on the tree", will recommendreaders just enjoy personal participation in the auction action. Especially in the "Empire" is already on the way next auction — fine art and applied art. It will be held at the world theatre day — on Saturday, March 24, in 19 hours.
