Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Making Dover Harbour by George Chambers Snr. was sold in the Maritime Art auction at Christies in London in May 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 750.00 (€ 857.63) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Chambers Snr. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Margate in April last year with an auction result of GBP 35,580.00 (€ 42,427.89).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Making Dover Harbour von George Chambers Snr. wurde im Mai 2011 in der Auktion Maritime Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 857,63) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Chambers Snr. erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Margate im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 35.580,00 (€ 42.427,89).
