Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Chrysanthemums by Emperor Xuantong was sold in the IMPORTANT CHINESE ART auction at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2001. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 94,000.00 (€ 13,400.20), 18% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emperor Xuantong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Five-Character Poem in Running Script, which sold at auction in November 2019 for HKD 250,000.00 (€ 28,995.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
