In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art Including Ottomans & Orientalists, which included the work The Shoes of The Faithful; And Commercial Activity by Charles Robertson. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,624.04), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Robertson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Carpet Seller, Cairo in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 663,000.00 (€ 769,032.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Ottomans & Orientalists durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Shoes of The Faithful; And Commercial Activity von Charles Robertson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.120,00 (€ 4.624,04) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Robertson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Carpet Seller, Cairo im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 663.000,00 (€ 769.032,45).
