Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Armistice Day celebrations in Trafalgar Square with H.R.H. King George V and H.R.H. Queen Mary looking on from a horse-drawn carriage by Fortunino Matania. It changed hands for a price of GBP 937.50 (€ 1,197.05) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fortunino Matania achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Complete Set of Illustrations For The Tinker'S Wig in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 11,760.00 (€ 17,429.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Armistice Day celebrations in Trafalgar Square with H.R.H. King George V and H.R.H. Queen Mary looking on from a horse-drawn carriage von Fortunino Matania zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 937,50 (€ 1.197,05) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fortunino Matania erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Complete Set of Illustrations For The Tinker'S Wig im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.760,00 (€ 17.429,06).
