Husband's Prohibition on Antique Purchases Imposed on Arabella Kiesbauer
Arabella Kiesbauer, a renowned TV presenter from Vienna, is set to host the Austrian version of the popular TV show "Bares für Rares" on Puls 4, starting this fall[1][2][3].
Kiesbauer, known for her passion for flea markets and unique collections of old radios and coffee grinders[4], will guide participants on their journey from expert appraisals to negotiating with dealers to sell their antiques and collectibles[1][2][3]. Her role involves highlighting the unique stories behind each item and emphasizing her passion for the personal histories that every object carries.
The show, which recently transitioned from ServusTV to Puls 4 and Joyn, follows the format of the original ZDF show, where people have their items appraised and sold to antique dealers[5]. Kiesbauer replaces the former host, Willi Gabalier[1][2][3][4].
Kiesbauer has expressed her admiration for Horst Lichter, the host of the original "Bares für Rares" show, and aspires to become the Austrian counterpart to him, leading the show with charm, wit, and spirit[6]. However, she has imposed a buying ban on herself due to lack of space and hopes that this ban will be lifted now that she can offer her items on "Bares für Rares Austria"[7][8].
She has also joked about potentially selling off her collected pieces on the show, adding an element of excitement and unpredictability to the upcoming season[9]. Kiesbauer is eager to engage with contestants and their valuables, promising an entertaining and educational viewing experience for audiences[1][2][3][5].
