Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work A Natural History of Uncommon Birds: Six Plates by George Edwards for USD 1,200.00 (€ 909.30). This price was achieved in the auction The House Sale at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by George Edwards have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Twelve Ornithological Studies, from A Natural History of Uncommon Birds in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,541.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Natural History of Uncommon Birds: Six Plates von George Edwards für USD 1.200,00 (€ 909,30) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The House Sale bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Edwards auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Twelve Ornithological Studies, from A Natural History of Uncommon Birds im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.541,27).
