Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2018 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art Online Sale, which included the work The Melody of the Rain by Sedaghat Jabbari. The price achieved of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 48,741.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Admittedly, works by Sedaghat Jabbari have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Divine Names in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 433,000.00 (€ 299,281.17).
