Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Still Life Of Fruit, Including A Melon, Grapes, Oranges And Peaches, Together With An Artichoke, Celery, Walnuts And Corn, Arranged On A Ledge With Butterflies And Snails Before A Stone Grotto In A Landscape by Cornelis de Heem was sold in the Old Masters Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2016. The price achieved of GBP 175,000.00 (€ 204,603.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cornelis de Heem - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Still Life Of Roses, Poppies, Lillies And Other Flowers In A Glass Vase On A Marble Shelf; Beneath A Partly Peeled Orange And Fraises De Bois In A Wan Li Porcelain Dish, Both On A Projecting Marble Ledge, which sold at auction in January 2014 for USD 749,000.00 (€ 554,814.81).
