Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A lobster, a crab on a pewter plate, a bunch of grapes and a fig in a tazza, a wicker basket with fruit, a bottle of wine, oysters, cherries and cucumbers on a stone ledge with song birds by Pseudo-Simons was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 22,325.00 (€ 34,269.99), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 24%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pseudo-Simons - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grapes on the vine, plums, apples, pears and other fruit and flowers all in a wicker basket, a red squirrel eating acorns, a partially peeled lemon on a silver dish with cherries, oranges and figs on a stone table ledge; and Grapes on the vine, plums, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 47,800.00 (€ 73,935.78).
