Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work A Warm Embrace by Léon Perrault for USD 60,480.00 (€ 56,360.08). This price was achieved in the auction Belle Époque Splendor: The Discerning Eye of a Collector at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Léon Perrault - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French Out In The Cold, which sold at auction in April 2010 for USD 206,500.00 (€ 155,239.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Warm Embrace von Léon Perrault für USD 60.480,00 (€ 56.360,08) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Belle Époque Splendor: The Discerning Eye of a Collector bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Léon Perrault mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French Out In The Cold beobachtet, die im April 2010 für USD 206.500,00 (€ 155.239,81) versteigert wurde.
