Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction The Gunter Sachs Collection Day Auction, which included the work 'Nénuphars' Chimneypiece by Louis Majorelle. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 67,250.00 (€ 83,790.54). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Majorelle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Aux Orchidées' Desk And Chair, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Gunter Sachs Collection Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Nénuphars' Chimneypiece von Louis Majorelle zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 60.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 67.250,00 (€ 83.790,54) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis Majorelle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Aux Orchidées' Desk And Chair beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 145.250,00 (€ 180.975,11) versteigert wurde.
