Over the years, Kunsthaus Lempertz has consolidated its position as the world’s leading auction site for KPM porcelain: An outstanding result of 275,000 euro was achieved in 2018 for a KPM vase with eight views of Berlin, which, according to the imperial accounts book, was most likely intended as a birthday gift for the Bavarian Crown Prince Maximilian. A 77 cm high KPM crater vase with an impressive 360-degree panoramic view of Potsdam was sold for 254,000 euro in 2015. A KPM porcelain picture from 1846 with a view of the Knight’s Hall went for 143,000 euro and a rare KPM service with micro-mosaic painting reached 126,000 euro.

A further piece worth highlighting is the life-size marble figure Die Nacht, by Emil Wolff, which was auctioned for 124,000 euro in 2017. This is the highest result ever reached for a sculpture by Emil Wolff. The oil painting View of St. Catherine’s Church in Brandenburg an der Havel by Eduard Gaertner from the year 1868 reached 106,000 euro, and a Portrait of King Frederick II of Prussia by Charles Amédée van Loo sold for 99,200 euro in 2018.
