Brian Davies (British, 20th Century)
Peaches and a knife, on a stone ledge
signed 'Brian Davies' (lower right)
oil on panel
8 x 12 in. (20.3 x 30.5 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Brian Davies achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2006. In the British and Continental Pictures auction, the work Peaches and a knife, on a stone ledge sold for GBP 660.00 (€ 952.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 300.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Brian Davies - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Wine Cupboard, which sold at auction in December 2001 for GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,303.74).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Brian Davies erzielte im April 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British and Continental Pictures wurde die Arbeit Peaches and a knife, on a stone ledge für GBP 660,00 (€ 952,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 300,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Brian Davies mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Wine Cupboard beobachtet, die im Dezember 2001 für GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.303,74) versteigert wurde.
