In this more than successful and varied auction with emphasis on paintings and antiques from the 16th to 19th century, both a Chinese so-called ‘Birthday Vase’ (lot 302) and a finely painted view of Leuven Town Hall (lot 352) were awarded the hammer price of € 45000. Tripling the estimate then again did an anonymous, attributable to the early 16th-century ‘Master of Paul and Barnabas’ Crucifixion (lot 3, res.: €34000) while an early 18th-century English console table (lot 108, estimated at around €1500/2000) went away at €22000 after a tenacious bidding war. A moralising canvas by the specialist in portraying poultry in a neerhof, Adriaan Van Utrecht, charmed a new owner at € 18000 (lot 12), while a battle in Vuchterheide, going back to a prototype by Sebastiaan Vrancx (lot 10) was then hammered down € 17000, just surpassing what was offered for a panel by Abraham Govaerts (lot 18) (res.: € 16000). That antiques and collectibles were also doing well was proven by a rare Leuven fountain in Imari porcelain and silver (lot 184, res.: €15000), an 18th-century ‘ schippertje’ (lot 101, res.: €7000) or an early 18th-century fragment of a confessional by Boeckstuyns (lot 25, res.: €6400).
