Upper estimate price exceeded by 91 %.
This artwork by Charles Henry Seaforth achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in February 2021. In the The Gentleman's Library Sale auction, the work Ships of the Imperial Russian Navy in stormy seas sold for GBP 2,295.00 (€ 2,646.85) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Henry Seaforth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Two-Decker Drying Her Sails And Airing Ship, Lying At Anchor (Illustrated); And A Frigate In Distress With A Fishing Boat Going To Her Rescue in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,730.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 91 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Henry Seaforth erzielte im Februar 2021 bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Gentleman's Library Sale wurde die Arbeit Ships of the Imperial Russian Navy in stormy seas für GBP 2.295,00 (€ 2.646,85) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Henry Seaforth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Two-Decker Drying Her Sails And Airing Ship, Lying At Anchor (Illustrated); And A Frigate In Distress With A Fishing Boat Going To Her Rescue im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.000,00 (€ 26.730,56).
