Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work A lobster, a bun and a knife on a pewter plate, a roemer, a wine glass and a Delft jug with a Chinese blue and white silver mounted ewer on a draped ledge by Simon Luttichuys was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - NLG 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at NLG 608,504.00 (€ 265,698.63). Admittedly, works by Simon Luttichuys have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Still Life With A Pewter Jug On Its Side, A Glass Of Ale, A Salt Cellar, A Bread Roll And Other Objects On A Table Draped In A Dark Green Cloth in January 2012 with an auction result of USD 1,986,500.00 (€ 1,521,872.37).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A lobster, a bun and a knife on a pewter plate, a roemer, a wine glass and a Delft jug with a Chinese blue and white silver mounted ewer on a draped ledge von Simon Luttichuys im Mai 2000 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – NLG 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit NLG 608.504,00 (€ 265.698,63) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Simon Luttichuys auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Still Life With A Pewter Jug On Its Side, A Glass Of Ale, A Salt Cellar, A Bread Roll And Other Objects On A Table Draped In A Dark Green Cloth im Januar 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.986.500,00 (€ 1.521.872,37).
