Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A passion flower by Georg Dionysius Ehret was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,585.00) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georg Dionysius Ehret achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gloriosa superba (Glory Lily) in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 30,550.00 (€ 50,749.63).

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georg Dionysius Ehret erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gloriosa superba (Glory Lily) im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.550,00 (€ 50.749,63).
