A top price for Willem Kalf - as previously expected
The work A Chafing Dish, Two Pilgrims' Canteens, A Silver-Gilt Ewer, A Plate And Other Tableware On A Partially Draped Table by Willem Kalf was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2019. The price achieved of USD 2,775,000.00 (€ 2,489,012.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000,000.00 – 4,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Chafing Dish, Two Pilgrims' Canteens, A Silver-Gilt Ewer, A Plate And Other Tableware On A Partially Draped Table is the most expensive artwork by Willem Kalf that we have observed at auctions so far.
