Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2002 a collector was able to acquire the work Locupletissimi Rerum Naturalium Thesauri: Seven Plates by Albertus Seba for USD 1,195.00 (€ 1,209.39). This price was achieved in the auction THE HOUSE SALE at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Albertus Seba have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A group of five Studies of Reptiles and Botanicals in February 2002 with an auction result of USD 4,935.00 (€ 5,699.93).
