Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work A Billiards Game In The 18Th Century by Jean Carolus. The price achieved of GBP 11,750.00 (€ 16,642.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean Carolus - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Negotiations, which sold at auction in May 2000 for USD 56,400.00 (€ 60,463.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Billiards Game In The 18Th Century von Jean Carolus zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 11.750,00 (€ 16.642,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean Carolus mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Negotiations beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für USD 56.400,00 (€ 60.463,12) versteigert wurde.
