   Auction at Sotheby's in New York (1983)

   This auction will remain in Martin Kamer's memory. He took part in it anonymously and by telephone from London. Not only did he buy many pieces for a lot of money, he also opened a new chapter in his career: From now on he was no longer interested only in dresses from the 18th and 19th centuries, but also in haute couture.

   The biggest enemy of antique textiles and historical clothes is the clothes moth. Martin Kamer also loses some of his collector's items to this voracious insect, but he knows how to defend himself with appropriate measures over time. Kamer also noticed that moths do not touch clothes with certain dyes.
