Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.

The work Nasturtium Indicum; And Lychnis Coronaria Flore Rubro Pleno by Basilius Besler was sold in the Christie's Interiors - Style & Spirit auction at Christies in London in February 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,641.79), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Basilius Besler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hortus Eystettensis: Eight Plates in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 45,600.00 (€ 34,386.55).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.641,79) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hortus Eystettensis: Eight Plates im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 45.600,00 (€ 34.386,55).
