Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In October 2014 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Steel workers (illustrated); Workers at the Royal Mint, 1911; Women churning butter; A Glassblowing factory; and Factory workers with hammers by Fortunino Matania. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,872.92), 50% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Fortunino Matania have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Complete Set of Illustrations For The Tinker'S Wig in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 11,760.00 (€ 17,429.06).
