Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The card game by Francis William Topham was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2001. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 700.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 705.00 (€ 1,181.95). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis William Topham - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The flower seller, which sold at auction in July 2004 for GBP 1,912.00 (€ 2,889.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The card game von Francis William Topham kam im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 700,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 705,00 (€ 1.181,95) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis William Topham mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The flower seller beobachtet, die im Juli 2004 für GBP 1.912,00 (€ 2.889,45) versteigert wurde.
