Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.

The work A dead rabbit and a satchel by Jean Siméon Chardin was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 1,006,500.00 (€ 1,124,350.20), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Siméon Chardin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Basket Of Wild Strawberries in March last year with an auction result of EUR 24,381,400.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A dead rabbit and a satchel von Jean Siméon Chardin kam im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.006.500,00 (€ 1.124.350,20) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Siméon Chardin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Basket Of Wild Strawberries im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 24.381.400,00.
