Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Still Life Of Flowers In A Blue-And-White Porcelain Bowl, Resting On A Stone Ledge by Andrea Scacciati was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,275.65). Admittedly, works by Andrea Scacciati have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Parrot tulips, hydrangeas, carnations and other flowers in an urn with a parrot holding an earring in its beak on a ledge in October 2010 with an auction result of GBP 79,250.00 (€ 91,376.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Still Life Of Flowers In A Blue-And-White Porcelain Bowl, Resting On A Stone Ledge von Andrea Scacciati im April 2013 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.275,65) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Andrea Scacciati auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Parrot tulips, hydrangeas, carnations and other flowers in an urn with a parrot holding an earring in its beak on a ledge im Oktober 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 79.250,00 (€ 91.376,49).
