Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May last year Sothebys in London held the auction STYLE London: Furniture, Clocks, Silver, Ceramics & Works of Art, which included the work Study of a Horse by Ernest Meissonier. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,024.00 (€ 3,557.45). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernest Meissonier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French les Deux Amis in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 442,000.00 (€ 418,481.35).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion STYLE London: Furniture, Clocks, Silver, Ceramics & Works of Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of a Horse von Ernest Meissonier zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.024,00 (€ 3.557,45) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernest Meissonier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French les Deux Amis im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 442.000,00 (€ 418.481,35).
