Info on the catalogue

Arrangement:

The online catalogue gives lot numbers in their auction order, always in blocks or batches of ten lots. You can reach the next or previous block by clicking on “Next” or “Previous”. The rows of numbers at the top and bottom of each block give the block numbers. Click on these numbers to call up the desired block.

Illustrations:

The small images in the left-hand margin assist with rapid orientation. Clicking on the image produces an enlarged image. The control symbols below the large picture make further enlargements possible and enable you to view the object in detail. Using your mouse, you can push the small triangle to the desired position in the picture in order to zoom in on the object. The plus symbol activates further stages of enlargement, the minus symbol deactivates them. The focus sharpens automatically at each stage of enlargement. In this way, objects can be viewed down to the smallest detail.

Searching the catalogue:

You can enter search terms in the field at the top of every block or batch. Entering a search term activates a full text search. All the objects in whose text the term sought appears will then be indicated in order of lot number. In order to carry out a successful search for names of provenance and specialist terms, it is important to use the spelling and style customarily used in our catalogues.

Selecting country of origin:

A further option of narrowing down the search for specific objects is to search for groups of countries.
