Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Tulips, roses, lilies of the valley, forget-me-nots, cyclamen and other flowers in a Kraak porcelain vase, with shells on a ledge by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder was sold in the The Collection of Ann & Gordon Getty: Wheatland auction at Christies in London in October this year. The price achieved of USD 529,200.00 (€ 500,757.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Blumenstrauss mit Tulpen, Schwertlilie, Gartennelke, Ringelblume, Rosmarinblätter und anderen Blüten in einem Römer mit Schmetterlingen, Spitzschnecke und Fliege. 1608. in September 2008 with an auction result of CHF 5,770,000.00 (€ 3,662,132.66).
