Court Documents: Austrian Auction House Sues Long Island Auctioneer Over $375 Sale
Court records from the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County.
This page hosts court records from Susanne Zacke Beratung & Handel GmbH v. Roland Antiques Gallery, Inc., filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County.
The Austrian firm, which operates as Galerie Zacke, alleged that a legally binding auction sale was completed for a 19th-century Tibetan Buddhist sculpture before the New York auctioneer refused to deliver the work, citing a clerical error.
The complaint said the sculpture is worth no less than $30,000, far above the hammer price, and seeks damages at or above that amount.
