Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Sothebys in London held the auction The Library of Henry Rogers Broughton, 2nd Baron Fairhaven Part I, which included the work The Horticultural Repository, 1823, 2 volumes by George Brookshaw. The price achieved of GBP 2,142.00 (€ 2,519.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Brookshaw - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four Handcolored Aquatints From: Pomonica Britannica, A Collection Of The Most Esteemed Fruits, which sold at auction in January 2001 for USD 4,935.00 (€ 5,301.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Library of Henry Rogers Broughton, 2nd Baron Fairhaven Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Horticultural Repository, 1823, 2 volumes von George Brookshaw zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.142,00 (€ 2.519,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von George Brookshaw mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Four Handcolored Aquatints From: Pomonica Britannica, A Collection Of The Most Esteemed Fruits beobachtet, die im Januar 2001 für USD 4.935,00 (€ 5.301,89) versteigert wurde.
