Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Antonio Joli achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2016. In the Old Masters Evening Sale auction, the work Westminster Bridge, London sold for GBP 749,000.00 (€ 875,702.52) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonio Joli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Capriccio With The French Ambassador Approaching The King Of Siam’S Palace In A State Barge, In October 1685, Featuring The White Porcelain Pagoda, From Nanjing, China, On The Left, which sold at auction in October last year for USD 3,300,000.00 (€ 3,321,924.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Antonio Joli erzielte im Dezember 2016 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit Westminster Bridge, London für GBP 749.000,00 (€ 875.702,52) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Antonio Joli mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Capriccio With The French Ambassador Approaching The King Of Siam’S Palace In A State Barge, In October 1685, Featuring The White Porcelain Pagoda, From Nanjing, China, On The Left beobachtet, die im Oktober letzten Jahres für USD 3.300.000,00 (€ 3.321.924,70) versteigert wurde.
