Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Frederick Rowland Emett could be acquired at Bonhams in London in February 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Gentleman's Library Sale auction, the work A Scale model of Emett's automaton 'HMS Pussiewillow I' changed hands for GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,470.47) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederick Rowland Emett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Shell X100 By-Plane in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,820.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Frederick Rowland Emett konnte im Februar 2021 bei Bonhams in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Gentleman's Library Sale wechselte die Arbeit A Scale model of Emett's automaton 'HMS Pussiewillow I' für GBP 1.275,00 (€ 1.470,47) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederick Rowland Emett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Shell X100 By-Plane im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.000,00 (€ 17.820,38).
