It was not Pierre-Jean Chalançon, administrator of the Cercle France Napoléon, who put his hand in the pocket to acquire it. He did not even participate in the auctions, claiming that this "piece of music" could not have been more "classical". Considerations which did not prevent Caroline Margeridon from buying it.
The previous record for Business concluded dates back to January 9. A centerpiece signed Pierre-Philippe Thomire had been sold for 16,500 euros to Pierre-Jean Chalançon.
