In August 2011 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Driving the herd home by Charles Edmund Brock. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,540.97), 50% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Charles Edmund Brock; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot "Mr Bumble Walked On With Long Strides... Little Oliver Firmly Grasping His Gold Laced Cuff Trotted Beside Him." sold at auction in December 2012 with the realized price of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,699.83).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen

Im August 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Driving the herd home von Charles Edmund Brock zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.540,97) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Charles Edmund Brock; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit "Mr Bumble Walked On With Long Strides... Little Oliver Firmly Grasping His Gold Laced Cuff Trotted Beside Him." im Dezember 2012 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.699,83).
