Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Carpet Merchants by Charles Wilda was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 75,000.00 (€ 82,599.50). Admittedly, works by Charles Wilda have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Egyptian Antiques Seller in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 300,000.00 (€ 347,978.48).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Carpet Merchants von Charles Wilda im Juni 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 75.000,00 (€ 82.599,50) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Wilda auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Egyptian Antiques Seller im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 300.000,00 (€ 347.978,48).
