The work A gentleman called Archibald Coates (d. 1770), in brown velvet coat, white cravat, powdered curling wig by Christian Friedrich Zincke was sold in the Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in May 2012. It achieved a price of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,491.91), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christian Friedrich Zincke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Four important enamel miniatures set in a Fine George II Enamel and Gold Portrait Box with hinged lid and base, the concave sides chased with reeded c-scrolls and shellwork on a frosted gold ground and enamelled en basse-taille with leaves in translu in April 2002 with an auction result of GBP 56,400.00 (

Die Arbeit A gentleman called Archibald Coates (d. 1770), in brown velvet coat, white cravat, powdered curling wig von Christian Friedrich Zincke wurde im Mai 2012 in der Auktion Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.491,91) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 33%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christian Friedrich Zincke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Four important enamel miniatures set in a Fine George II Enamel and Gold Portrait Box with hinged lid and base, the concave sides chased with reeded c-scrolls and shellwork on a frosted gold ground and enamelled en basse-taille with leaves in translu im April 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 56.400,00 (€ 91.253,72).
