Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Tiger by Kishi Gantai was sold in the JAPANESE ART AND DESIGN INCLUDING LACQUER AND WORKS OF ART auction at Christies in London in November 2003. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,015.75 (€ 1,458.12). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kishi Gantai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lions, which sold at auction in March 2007 for USD 7,800.00 (€ 5,832.21).
