Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Portrait of Charles Carroll by Charles Balthazar Julien Fevert de Saint-Memin was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,400.00 (€ 1,846.44). Admittedly, works by Charles Balthazar Julien Fevert de Saint-Memin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portraits Of Distinguished Americans Engraved By Julien Fevret De Saint-Mémin 1770 — 1852 [Box Title. Various Places, Including Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, & Washington, D.C. 1797-1809|AID307358] in January 2018 with an auction result of USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,057.93).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Portrait of Charles Carroll von Charles Balthazar Julien Fevert de Saint-Memin im Januar 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.400,00 (€ 1.846,44) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Balthazar Julien Fevert de Saint-Memin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portraits Of Distinguished Americans Engraved By Julien Fevret De Saint-Mémin 1770 — 1852 [Box Title. Various Places, Including Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, & Washington, D.C. 1797-1809|AID307358] im Januar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 10.057,93).
