Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2006 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Exploration and Travel:AsiaIncluding China Trade Paintings auction, the work China Men Boiling Their Nets, Hong Kong changed hands for GBP 840.00 (€ 1,229.66) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Admittedly, works by Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Lankatilaka Temple, Sri Lanka in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,974.51).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming konnte im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Exploration and Travel:AsiaIncluding China Trade Paintings wechselte die Arbeit China Men Boiling Their Nets, Hong Kong für GBP 840,00 (€ 1.229,66) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Lankatilaka Temple, Sri Lanka im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.974,51).
