Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.

In May 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction The Gunter Sachs Collection Day Auction, which included the work Pair Of Armchairs by Louis Majorelle. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 49,250.00 (€ 61,363.33), 64% above the upper estimate. 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 um 64 % übertroffen

Im Mai 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Gunter Sachs Collection Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pair Of Armchairs von Louis Majorelle zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 49.250,00 (€ 61.363,33) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
