Altar pyramids at Bares for Rares: palpitations for 900 euros!

Volkach, Deutschland - On June 3, 2025, Gudrun and Werner Schmuck from Volkach presented their extraordinary objects in the popular flea show "Bares for Rares". The two brought two pyramid -shaped altar pyramids decorated with relics of martyrs, including ashes and powder of holy sites where Jesus or Peter lingered. The valuable objects were examined more closely by expert Bianca Berding and she confirmed that the pyramids were made by nuns in careful, detailed manual work.

The couple originally wanted 500 euros per pyramid, i.e. a total of 1,000 euros. But Bianca Berding estimated the value of the two pyramids at 500 to 800 euros for the entire sentence. In a nerve -wracking moment before the negotiation, Werner jewelry admitted: "The palpitations are getting worse and worse." In the end, Daniel Meyer offered 900 euros, which came very close to the couple's desired price and thus found a new owner for the pyramids.

As part of the show, the dealer Susanne Steiger acquired the cross for a sum of 42,000 euros. On her Instagram account, she stated that she researches the provenance of the cross to clarify its origin more precisely. Your goal is to give the cross to a museum as a loan so that it can be made accessible to the general public. Steiger expressed her great fascination for this piece and hopes to be able to present it in a future exhibition in a historical place. However, the details of the exact exhibition site have not yet been announced.

provenance research in the art area

Provenance research plays a crucial role in the art world. Business papers from the art trade support the implementation of the "common explanation" and offer valuable information on the incoming and sales of works of art, owners and prices. A research project that deals with provenance research is currently being carried out at the Berlinische Galerie. The focus is on the documentation of modern arts during the first half of the 20th century.

Since 2006, the estate of art dealer Ferdinand Möller has been scientifically developed in order to document the trade in the works of German modernism during the Nazi era. The researchers are concerned about increasing transparency in the art market and making historical links understandable. The research archive of the Viennese art market researcher Werner J. Schweiger is currently also being opened to emphasize its relevance for international provenance research.

the West reports that the pyramids found a new owner at" Bares for Rares ", and Berliner Kurier emphasizes the importance of provenance research. On the Berlinische Galerie there are further information on ongoing projects and their importance for art trade.
