On Friday, 29th of September 2017 from 2 pm on at the Steigenberger Hotel Remarque in Osnabrueck, with auction 299 there takes place Kuenker’s 14th phaleristic vendue with more than 440 lots. There are being offered orders of chivalry, decorations, medals and badges, mounted medal and miniature groups, certificates and documents from Germany, Europe and all over the world, from the 17th century up to present time.
This time Kuenker was trusted with one of the most extensive and important collections of Ottoman orders, decorations and medals that have ever been compiled by a collector. The auction catalogue attempts to work out a system basing on the available objects, respectively to substantially enhance already existing partial systems. Furthermore, the objects were set into the overall context of Ottoman history mostly of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th century.
