Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October last year Bonhams in London held the auction The Marine Sale, which included the work A naval squadron manoeuvring in a swell off Dover 71.1 x 91.5cm (28 x 36in) in a carved frame by Charles Brooking. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 31,800.00 (€ 37,046.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Brooking - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Men-O'-War Reefed-Down And Riding Out A Gale, which sold at auction in June 2014 for GBP 68,500.00 (€ 85,587.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Marine Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A naval squadron manoeuvring in a swell off Dover 71.1 x 91.5cm (28 x 36in) in a carved frame von Charles Brooking zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 31.800,00 (€ 37.046,65) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Brooking mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Men-O'-War Reefed-Down And Riding Out A Gale beobachtet, die im Juni 2014 für GBP 68.500,00 (€ 85.587,47) versteigert wurde.
