Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A Royal Princess by Archibald Wakley was sold in the Victorian & Traditionalist Art auction at Christies in London in February 2009. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,382.40) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Archibald Wakley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sleeping Beauty in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 400,000.00 (€ 446,835.65).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit A Royal Princess von Archibald Wakley wurde im Februar 2009 in der Auktion Victorian & Traditionalist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.382,40) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Archibald Wakley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sleeping Beauty im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 400.000,00 (€ 446.835,65).
