Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2004 a collector was able to acquire the work Ornithological Studies from the Spanish West Indies: Three Plates by George Edwards for USD 418.25 (€ 308.95). This price was achieved in the auction THE HOUSE SALE at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 700.00 – 900.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Edwards achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 2004 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Ornithological Studies from the Spanish West Indies: Three Plates von George Edwards für USD 418,25 (€ 308,95) 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 700,00 – 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Edwards erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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).
