n the Bauhaus and German Design section, we have managed to acquire some extraordinary treasures. Extremely rare objects by Marianne Brandt will be auctioned from the collection of the daughter of a Bauhaus and Burg Giebichenstein teacher. The iconic ashtray ‘MT35’ (est. €10,000-12,000), a deep bowl ‘ME 37a’ (est. €2,000-2,500) and a large flat bowl ‘ME 160’ (est. €900-1,200) all bear the Bauhaus stamp and have been in the same family for almost 100 years. This collection also includes a copy of the famous ceiling lamp from the Bauhaus Dessau (designed by M. Brandt – SP € 3,000 – 5,000), as well as a very rare, beautiful, reddish enamel tea caddy by the Bauhaus artist and Burg Giebichenstein teacher Lili Schultz (SP € 1,200 – 1,800) and a tea infuser by the Bauhaus artist Josef Knau (est. € 500 – 700).

Pre Auction Report

Murano Glass on March 26, 2025

We are delighted to be able to present a wonderful cross-section of important Murano glass designs. Dino Martens’ large ‘Oriente’ vase, designed in 1952, is a firework of colors with a large star murrine (estimated price € 8,000 – 10,000). Among the approximately 160 glass objects, there are some rarities that document the history of Murano glass art at the beginning of the 20th century. Around 1900, interest in glass from Murano had almost completely disappeared from the international market. It is thanks to two visionary entrepreneurs that this wonderful craftsmanship flourished again from the 1920s onwards, with great innovation and modern models.

Modern Art on March 26, 2025

The Modern Art collection boasts some impressive names. Joan Miró’s aquatint etching ‘Escalade vers la lune’ (1969) enchants with its free composition of symbolic forms and the artist’s typically suggestive use of color (estimated price € 8,000 – 12,000). Marc Chagall’s lithograph ‘Le Verger’ is one of a series of lithographs in which the artist illustrated the mythical story of Daphnis and Chloé by the Greek author Longus (estimated price €8,000 – 10,000). In his unmistakable artistic language, Chagall created a bucolic dream landscape in which Mediterranean nature has blossomed and humans and animals live together in peace.
