The work Tombs of The Cailiffs, Cairo; Jerusalem With The Dome of The Rock; And Oriental Bazaar, Cairo by Charles Robertson was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005. It achieved a price of GBP 7,800.00 (€ 11,560.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. 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 30 % übertroffen
