Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Winter Dress, Japan; And A Japanese Family Taking Tea by Charles Wirgman was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006. The price achieved of GBP 1,200.00 (€ 1,756.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Wirgman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Japanese Warriors in October 2013 with an auction result of GBP 20,625.00 (€ 24,378.59).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Winter Dress, Japan; And A Japanese Family Taking Tea von Charles Wirgman kam im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.200,00 (€ 1.756,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Wirgman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Japanese Warriors im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.625,00 (€ 24.378,59).
