Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Unknown by Jacques-Joseph de Gault was worth GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,594.71) to a buyer in June 2011. This price was achieved in the auction Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Glass, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jacques-Joseph de Gault; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Cadmus and Hermione sold at auction in May 2000 with the realized price of USD 18,800.00 (€ 20,154.37).
