This walnut-veneered Art Deco or Bauhaus style desk from the 1930s can be seen at Burkard Hauptmann’s shop, which is taking part in the Bamberg art and antiques weeks. It costs €5900.
Bavaria is the most popular tourist destination in Germany and for more than 20 years the historic city of Bamberg has hosted a summer event in which a dozen prestigious dealers and galleries take part in a joint sales exhibition, held in their own premises.
It traditionally attracts collectors from all over the world and can count on numerous visitors from the Wagner festival in nearby Bayreuth, which is less than an hour’s drive away and runs more or less concurrently.
