Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2002 Christies in London held the auction VICTORIAN PICTURES, which included the work The New Toy by Edwin Thomas Roberts. The price achieved of GBP 7,170.00 (€ 11,227.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edwin Thomas Roberts - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work "Rule Britannia! A Merry Crew", which sold at auction in November 2002 for GBP 28,680.00 (€ 44,911.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion VICTORIAN PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit The New Toy von Edwin Thomas Roberts zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 7.170,00 (€ 11.227,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 6.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edwin Thomas Roberts mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit "Rule Britannia! A Merry Crew" beobachtet, die im November 2002 für GBP 28.680,00 (€ 44.911,40) versteigert wurde.
