Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Old Bill by Bruce Bairnsfather was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2006. The price achieved of GBP 420.00 (€ 623.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bruce Bairnsfather - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work If Only They’D Make ‘Old Bill’ President Of Those Tribunals ('Well What'S Your Job Me Lad?' | 'Making Spots For Rocking Horses, Sir' | 'Three Months' | 'Exemption, Sir?' | 'Nao! Exemption Be ---D, Three Months Hard'), which sold at auction in March 2018 for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,707.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Old Bill von Bruce Bairnsfather kam im November 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 420,00 (€ 623,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Bruce Bairnsfather mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit If Only They’D Make ‘Old Bill’ President Of Those Tribunals ('Well What'S Your Job Me Lad?' | 'Making Spots For Rocking Horses, Sir' | 'Three Months' | 'Exemption, Sir?' | 'Nao! Exemption Be ---D, Three Months Hard') beobachtet, die im März 2018 für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.707,83) versteigert wurde.
