Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by François Dumont was sold in the Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in June 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,128.16) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François Dumont achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Queen Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), facing right in gold-bordered white satin dress with gold-bordered blue sash, white-bordered pale blue muslin scarf tied in her long curled powdered hair in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 69,750.00 (€ 110,994.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Unknown von François Dumont wurde im Juni 2010 in der Auktion Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.128,16) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von François Dumont erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Queen Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), facing right in gold-bordered white satin dress with gold-bordered blue sash, white-bordered pale blue muslin scarf tied in her long curled powdered hair im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 69.750,00 (€ 110.994,22).
