August 29, the auction house "Russian enamel" held auctions finishing the summer on a favorite topic profile — "Rare books, manuscripts, autographs, photographs, posters and postcards". Directory of 430 lots, one of which was filmed prior to the event, in spite of its impressive volume, has sold quite briskly: bidding started at 7pm and ended at 9.

Personally, at the last auction of the summer I decided to participate about a dozen people, but the Internet traditionally was in shock: at the time of the peak of the trading activity was following 68 people. In the end, went under the hammer 220 (51,1 %) of the lots: the Internet has been bought 110 lots (50 %), absentee rates went 79 (35.9 percent), phone — 23 (10.5%) and hall played 8 (3,6 %) of the lots. Total revenues amounted to RUB 5.2 million, or 65.9% from the mean estimate of the directory.The threshold of 100 thousand roubles. crossed thirteen lots.

First place at the top belongs to the Paris edition of 1817 under the title "Collection of twenty-four portraits of the Imperial family, Written Benner Painter, Who received from His Majesty's permission to engrave these Portraits." First bid was victorious, and the lot was sold for 380 thousand RUB in Internet.

In second place was the clean autograph of the poem "the wind rustle the pines well..." Gennady Shpalikov 1962, devoted wife, actress Inna Gulaya (remember the girl in the rain in "I step through Moscow" and Natasha — the main character of the film "When trees were big"?). Autograph was also bought on launch, but this time by absentee rate.

Bronze at these auctions deserve another meeting, but this time "a Collection of paintings and drawings of various buildings St-Петербурга and other places of the Russian Empire, designed by Luigi Rusca, the court architect", published in French and Italian language in 1810, and entitled "literary Fund" as "the Appearance of Pushkin's Petersburg". Fought for it and Internet absentee bid: bidding was opened with a rate of 190 thousand and ended at around 260 thousand rubles., for which lot and went to party on the Internet.

Leader in the ranking of the difference between the estimate and the price was the two volumes of N. P. Smirnova-Сокольского "My library. Bibliographic description" in 1969. Rare edition was estimated at 3-4 thousand rubles., but the intense fight Internet and telephone raised the cost of the lot up to 32 thousand rubles, which is 9.1 more than the average estimate.
