Discovered Treasure from a Clutter Box: Rare Piece of Value Unearthed
In a recent episode of the popular German ZDF show "Bares für Rares", a unique baroque beer stein was sold for a surprising sum. The stein, dated between 1727 and 1737 by expert Bianca Berding, fetched six times its initial asking price.
The stein, adorned with fire-gilded interior in a rich, orange-yellow tone, caught the eye of Fabian Kahl, a dealer on the show known for recognising the value and rarity of antiques. He purchased the stein for 3,000 euros, well above the sellers' initial asking price of 500 euros.
The coins embedded in the stein feature Lutheran-Christian motifs, and are circulation coins from the period between 1525 and shortly after 1700. This combination of age, rarity, and religious symbolism contributed to the stein's significant value.
The sale was a boon for the sellers, who had hoped for only a fraction of the final price. The baroque beer stein is now estimated to be worth several thousand euros, making it a valuable addition to any antiques collection.
In an unrelated fact, Walter "Waldi" Lehnertz, another dealer on the show, revealed his reason for always sitting on the far left on the show. While this fact may not be directly related to the baroque beer stein, it offers a fascinating insight into the personalities of the show's participants.
Fabian Kahl is based in Germany and is a regular on the show's dealer team. He is also involved in exhibiting at fairs as part of his business, but his exact place of residence is not publicly specified in the available information.
With each episode, "Bares für Rares" continues to captivate audiences with its fascinating finds and thrilling sales. The baroque beer stein is just one example of the unique and valuable items that can be discovered on the show.
