埃菲爾鐵塔旋轉(zhuǎn)樓梯以16.9萬歐元拍出

A collector from the Middle East paid 169,000 euros, three times of the initial estimate of a section of the Eiffel Tower's original spiral staircase at a Paris auction, Artcurial auction house said on Tuesday.

艾德拍賣行周二表示，埃菲爾鐵塔原始旋轉(zhuǎn)樓梯的一部分，在巴黎一場拍賣會(huì)上被一位中東收藏家以16.9萬歐元拍得，這一價(jià)格為最初估價(jià)的3倍。

Composed of 25 steps, the 4.3-meter high section, which came from a private collection in Canada, had linked the second and third stories of the Paris landmark "French Iron Lady" built in 1889.

這段樓梯來自加拿大的私人收藏，包含25級(jí)臺(tái)階、高4.3米，是建于1889年的巴黎地標(biāo)埃菲爾鐵塔的第二層和第三層之間的樓梯。

In 1983, the staircase was removed when elevators were installed, and it was cut into 24 sections, with their length ranging from two to nine meters.

1983年安裝電梯時(shí)這段樓梯被拆除，并被切為24段，長度從2米到9米不等。

One of them has since been preserved on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower and three others have been donated to three French museums.

其中一段此后一直收藏在埃菲爾鐵塔的第一層，另有三段分別被捐給法國三家博物館。

On Dec 1, 1983, the remaining 20 sections were first auctioned.

其它的20段則于1983年12月1日首次被拍賣。

In 2016, an Asian collector paid 523,800 euros for a piece of the Eiffel tower's staircase, exceeding its estimate tenfold.

2016年，一位亞洲收藏者52.38萬歐元的價(jià)格拍下了埃菲爾鐵塔的一段樓梯，超出了估價(jià)的10倍。
