Bares für Rares: ZDF antiques show broadcast and recent highlights

The ZDF antiques show ‘Bares für Rares – Lieblingsstücke’ is scheduled for a livestream and television broadcast on Sunday, October 11, 2026, starting at 5:30 AM. Hosted by Horst Lichter, the program features experts evaluating various items brought in by participants for potential purchase by dealers.

A recent highlight from the series involved a flea market brooch that significantly exceeded its expected value. The piece, dating back to the 1860s, was identified as 750 gold and featured approximately 5.5 carats of diamonds, including a large half-carat stone. Despite some missing elements and modern replacements, the item sparked a competitive bidding war among dealers.
