Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.

In October 2013 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science & Natural History, which included the work Dutch Folly, Canton by Thomas Boswell Watson. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,954.98), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Boswell Watson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sketches, Taken In China By Dr T.B. Watson. A Folio Of Watercolour And Drawings, The Majority Taken In And Around Macao, Including 'Bar Fort, Macao', 'View From Our Terrace, Macao', 'Macao -- China', Macao -- China. From The West.', 'Beyond Campo Gat in October 2013 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€

Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen

Im Oktober 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science & Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dutch Folly, Canton von Thomas Boswell Watson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.954,98) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Boswell Watson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sketches, Taken In China By Dr T.B. Watson. A Folio Of Watercolour And Drawings, The Majority Taken In And Around Macao, Including 'Bar Fort, Macao', 'View From Our Terrace, Macao', 'Macao -- China', Macao -- China. From The West.', 'Beyond Campo Gat im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 38.414,74).
