Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2017 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Trajan and the Widow: a cassone panel by Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi. The price achieved of GBP 401,000.00 (€ 447,454.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Story of Coriolanus: a cassone front, which sold at auction in January 2024 for USD 1,562,500.00 (€ 1,365,582.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Trajan and the Widow: a cassone panel von Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 401.000,00 (€ 447.454,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Story of Coriolanus: a cassone front beobachtet, die im Januar 2024 für USD 1.562.500,00 (€ 1.365.582,94) versteigert wurde.
