Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Leslie Saalburg achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2010. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Elegant figures arriving for a reception at the British Embassy, Paris (illustrated); and Cars passing John Lobb, bootmaker's, Paris sold for GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,754.99) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00.
