Unexpected results formed in thong 19th Sentury Paintings - Icons, which were represented the most expensive proposal of the auction. Could not find a buyer painting Julia Yul'evich Klever (1850-1924) "Tsarskoe Selo", offered for sale with a record estimate: € 80 000. Not sold and the second top lot - a genre composition Alexandra Artamonovicha Muraveva "Napoleon's troops fleeing from the Russian army in the winter 1812", estimated at € 44 000. Instead they come to the fore the work of Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky and Alexander Koestera, which showed a truly record-breaking increase estimate.

Seascape IK Aivazovsky's "Two merchant ships off the coast in bad weather" was valued at € 12 000 and did not even hit the ten top lots of the auction. Despite this, the value of work rose in the course of trading by more than 4 times and eventually was € 54 000. Apparently, the experts Nagel was not fully convinced of the authenticity of this work, as indicated by the mark "attributed" and initially understated estimate. Following the sale can be assumed that the authorship of the canvas is not caused by an anonymous buyer is absolutely no doubt. In general, "Two merchant ships ..." demonstrates the classic Aivazovsky: rapid, carefully prescribed sea gulls, barely visible silhouette of the distant ship, and three small figures at the water's edge.

A similar result has demonstrated painting "Five ducks near the shore of the lake" brush a little-known European artist Alexander Koestera (Alexander Koester, 1864-1932). Estimated at € 20 000 job went under the hammer for € 68 000, thus becoming the most expensive lot of the auction. To date, very little information about Alexander Koestere. One can only say that his work is a characteristic feature: throughout his life the artist painted ducks, in the image which he has managed to achieve the highest skill.
The third string was the painting "Abbes Ermengarde on the shore of Lake Chiemsee in the evening light" brush the German painter Carl Payne (Raupp, Karl, 1837-1918), which went under the hammer for € 15 000 € 10 000 against the estimate. At the same time, could not find a buyer painting Glazunov, Alexander Alexandrovich (1884-1952) "View of the Novodevichy Convent in Moscow, which was put up for auction with the estimate: € 14 000.

A similar situation exists in the section Collectible arms, which was presented a little more than a hundred kinds of antique weapons, hunting trophies and a variety of thematic attributes. Not sold valued at € 24 000 rare German musket, set up in southern Germany around 1650 instead of section top lot was a German wooden statue of a hunter, dated 1600 The estimated total of € 2000, silver-plated figurine was sold to a sevenfold increase in estimate , bringing Nagel € 15 000.

High result showed an old atlas of Europe, exhibited on the auctions as a top-lot partition Books, prints, watercolors, drawings. Well-preserved full-color atlas published in Amsterdam in 1642 and contains over 100 pages with maps of Italy, Britain, Greece and several other countries. Estimated at € 6000, is a rare edition was sold for € 12 000.

In conclusion, to mention two more top-lot Nagel: ornate porcelain tureen Maysenskoy manufacture and Polish secretary in the middle of the XVIII. Price dated 1740 oval tureen with gilt rose during the auction with € 7000 to € 25 000. Luxurious carved secretary, on the contrary, went under the hammer for € 2000 cheaper estimate.
