Despite a disappointment, a good price for Louis Majorelle
In May 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work 'Aux Orchidées' Desk And Chair by Louis Majorelle for GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11). This price was achieved in the auction The Gunter Sachs Collection Evening Auction at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 150,000.00 – 200,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, 'Aux Orchidées' Desk And Chair is the most expensive artwork by Louis Majorelle that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Louis Majorelle
Im Mai 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Aux Orchidées' Desk And Chair von Louis Majorelle für GBP 145.250,00 (€ 180.975,11) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Gunter Sachs Collection Evening Auction bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 200.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist 'Aux Orchidées' Desk And Chair das teuerste Kunstwerk von Louis Majorelle, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
