Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work A sculpted gold cup, a silver-gilt cup and cover, a shell and bluebells on a partially draped stone ledge; A silver sewing box, an ewer and a pomegranate on a partially draped stone ledge by Meiffren Conte. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,200.00 (€ 25,265.20) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Meiffren Conte have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in May 2012 the work A silver incense burner and sideboard dish, a silver-gilt ewer and vase with nautilus shells, a sabre and a jewelry box on a ledge draped with a velvet curtain was auctioned for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 34,263.79).

Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A sculpted gold cup, a silver-gilt cup and cover, a shell and bluebells on a partially draped stone ledge; A silver sewing box, an ewer and a pomegranate on a partially draped stone ledge von Meiffren Conte zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 31.200,00 (€ 25.265,20) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen.
