Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Illustrations for Poems of Christina Rossetti (five illustrated) by Emma Florence Harrison was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 10,755.00 (€ 15,221.29). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emma Florence Harrison - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Illustrations for Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market (three illustrated), which sold at auction in December 2004 for GBP 28,680.00 (€ 40,590.10).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Illustrations for Poems of Christina Rossetti (five illustrated) von Emma Florence Harrison im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.755,00 (€ 15.221,29) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Emma Florence Harrison mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Illustrations for Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market (three illustrated) beobachtet, die im Dezember 2004 für GBP 28.680,00 (€ 40.590,10) versteigert wurde.
