Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2020 Phillips in an online auction held the auction Wired: Online Auction, which included the work Pair of Armchairs by Gio Ponti. The price achieved of GBP 5,670.00 (€ 6,329.63) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gio Ponti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Rare and Important Low Table in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 143,750.00 (€ 163,903.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2020 führte Phillips in einer Online-Auktion die Auktion Wired: Online Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pair of Armchairs von Gio Ponti zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.670,00 (€ 6.329,63) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gio Ponti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Rare and Important Low Table im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 143.750,00 (€ 163.903,14).
