Sold at the lower estimate price
In January 2008 Christies in London held the auction Nineteenth Century European Art, which included the work A bouquet of roses and buttercups on a mossy bank by Simon Saint-Jean. The result of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 2,010.81) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Simon Saint-Jean achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Still Life of Roses, Tulips, Peonies, Carnations, Hollyhocks, Morning Glories, Dahlias and Raspberries in an Urn on a Carved Wooden Table in October 2005 with an auction result of USD 251,200.00 (€ 209,420.59).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Januar 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Nineteenth Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A bouquet of roses and buttercups on a mossy bank von Simon Saint-Jean zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 2.010,81) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Simon Saint-Jean erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Still Life of Roses, Tulips, Peonies, Carnations, Hollyhocks, Morning Glories, Dahlias and Raspberries in an Urn on a Carved Wooden Table im Oktober 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 251.200,00 (€ 209.420,59).
