Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Edward Calvert achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in February 2019. In the The Fine Art Society: 142 Years on New Bond Street auction, the work The Chamber Idyll (L. 15B) sold for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,207.97) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Calvert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Iasius, The Old Arcadian, Teaching The Mysteries Of Demeter, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,671.54).
