Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September 2006 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Summer flowers by Edwin Steele. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 540.00 (€ 796.61). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edwin Steele - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life of grapes, peaches and a pineapple in an ewer on a ledge surounded by other fruit, which sold at auction in April 2002 for GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,711.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Summer flowers von Edwin Steele zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 540,00 (€ 796,61) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Edwin Steele mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life of grapes, peaches and a pineapple in an ewer on a ledge surounded by other fruit beobachtet, die im April 2002 für GBP 1.057,50 (€ 1.711,01) versteigert wurde.
