Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Ferdinand Machéra could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction, the work A young lady, in white dress, black fringed velvet spencer, white lace ruff, upswept fair hair changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 787.72) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Ferdinand Machéra have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A young girl, facing right in white dress, short light brown hair in December 2002 with an auction result of GBP 2,868.00 (€ 4,402.52).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ferdinand Machéra konnte im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes wechselte die Arbeit A young lady, in white dress, black fringed velvet spencer, white lace ruff, upswept fair hair für GBP 750,00 (€ 787,72) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ferdinand Machéra auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A young girl, facing right in white dress, short light brown hair im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.868,00 (€ 4.402,52).
