Artwork auctioned at 15 times the upper estimate price
When the work Three enamel plaques; A comb set with enamel plaques; and A small box with a design for 'Ruslan and Liudmila' by Sergei Chekhonin was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 15 times as high at GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,311.12). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sergei Chekhonin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life With Roses, Anemones And Chrysanthemums In A Chinese Vase, which sold at auction in June 2021 for GBP 275,000.00 (€ 320,446.49).
Kunstwerk zum 15-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Three enamel plaques; A comb set with enamel plaques; and A small box with a design for 'Ruslan and Liudmila' von Sergei Chekhonin im Juni 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 75.000,00 (€ 84.311,12) mehr als 15-mal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Sergei Chekhonin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life With Roses, Anemones And Chrysanthemums In A Chinese Vase beobachtet, die im Juni 2021 für GBP 275.000,00 (€ 320.446,49) versteigert wurde.
