Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2007 Christies in London held the auction British & Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Fishermen unloading the catch by George Chambers Jnr.. The price achieved of GBP 375.00 (€ 538.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Chambers Jnr. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work H.M.S. Agamemnon Lying Off Greenwich, Possibly When Loading The Atlantic Telegraph Cable in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 11,352.50 (€ 16,330.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishermen unloading the catch von George Chambers Jnr. zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 375,00 (€ 538,52) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Chambers Jnr. erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit H.M.S. Agamemnon Lying Off Greenwich, Possibly When Loading The Atlantic Telegraph Cable im November 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.352,50 (€ 16.330,51).
