Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Meiffren Conte could be acquired at Christies in New York in February 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Still life with a silver vessel, flowers and shells on a table changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,961.62) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Meiffren Conte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A silver incense burner and sideboard dish, a silver-gilt ewer and vase with nautilus shells, a sabre and a jewelry box on a ledge draped with a velvet curtain in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 34,263.79).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Meiffren Conte konnte im Februar 2009 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Still life with a silver vessel, flowers and shells on a table für USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.961,62) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Meiffren Conte erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A silver incense burner and sideboard dish, a silver-gilt ewer and vase with nautilus shells, a sabre and a jewelry box on a ledge draped with a velvet curtain im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 34.263,79).
