When the hammer falls in Quedlinburg on November 15, collectors’ dreams will come true. We present an exceptionally curated selection ranging from feats of technical innovation to masterpieces of porcelain art.

The absolute highlight is a historic mechanical mining model from the Ore Mountains (circa 1900). Its complex mechanism brings dozens of hand-carved miner figures to life. Bidding for a good cause:the entire hammer price will be donated to the reforestation of the Kuckanstal valley near Bad Sachsa.

Another focal point is the dissolution of a major private collection of Thuringian porcelain (Karl Ens, Volkstedt). It includes hundreds of naturalistic animal figures – among them impressive eagles – as well as the rare porcelain “Lovers” group from the Wallendorf manufactory, an important document of social history.

From porcelain to mobility: a true technical gem is the rare French motorized bicycle Alcyon “Alcyonnette” (1924). The machine remains in outstanding original condition with fine patina and, complete with carbide lamp, represents a genuine time capsule of the 1920s.

The auction lineup is rounded off by selected artworks – including works by Czeslaw Wasilewski – and an impressive collection of rare Montblanc “Writers Edition” fountain pens.
