Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.

The work A roemer, peaches, crabs, oysters, a clay pipe and a knife on a stone shelf by Theodor Smits was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 15,275.00 (€ 23,447.89), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Theodor Smits - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tazza, citron et fruits de mer sur un entablement, which sold at auction in November last year for EUR 64,288.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 53 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A roemer, peaches, crabs, oysters, a clay pipe and a knife on a stone shelf von Theodor Smits kam im Dezember 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 15.275,00 (€ 23.447,89) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 53%. Für andere Arbeiten von Theodor Smits mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tazza, citron et fruits de mer sur un entablement beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für EUR 64.288,00 versteigert wurde.
