Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Tapio Wirkkala achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in December 2006. In the Design & Design Art auction, the work "Hopeakuu" necklace and pair of earrings sold for USD 16,200.00 (€ 12,275.52) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00.
