Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2013 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science and Natural History, which included the work A Zebra; And An Ocelot by Franz Anton von Scheidel. The price achieved of GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,065.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Franz Anton von Scheidel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Six études de cornes in December 2019 with an auction result of EUR 35,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science and Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Zebra; And An Ocelot von Franz Anton von Scheidel zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.065,10) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Franz Anton von Scheidel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Six études de cornes im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 35.000,00.
