A top price for Célestin Francois - as previously expected

The work Elegant company playing music in an interior by Célestin Francois was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2004. The price achieved of GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,039.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Elegant company playing music in an interior is the most expensive artwork by Célestin Francois that we have observed at auctions so far.
