Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Pictures, which included the work The city ablaze by Alexandre-Thomas Francia. The price achieved of GBP 1,434.00 (€ 2,151.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Admittedly, works by Alexandre-Thomas Francia have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work View of Loch Katrine in October 2008 with an auction result of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,153.11).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The city ablaze von Alexandre-Thomas Francia zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.434,00 (€ 2.151,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alexandre-Thomas Francia auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit View of Loch Katrine im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 11.153,11).
