Sold at the upper estimate price
In May 2008 Christies in London held the auction West ~ East - The Niall Hobhouse Collection, which included the work Design for a tazza with an elaborate frieze of cornucopiae by Jean-Guillaume Moitte. The auction ended at the price of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,544.09), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Guillaume Moitte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cornelie, Mere Des Gracques in April 2008 with an auction result of EUR 37,176.00.
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion West ~ East - The Niall Hobhouse Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Design for a tazza with an elaborate frieze of cornucopiae von Jean-Guillaume Moitte zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.544,09) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Guillaume Moitte erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cornelie, Mere Des Gracques im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 37.176,00.
