In July 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original, which included the work The ornamental garden, Hardwick Hall by George Samuel Elgood. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,868.00 (€ 4,334.18), 59% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Samuel Elgood - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Roses And Pinks At Levens Hall, Kendal, Cumbria, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 9,600.00 (€ 14,245.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original durch, in der auch die Arbeit The ornamental garden, Hardwick Hall von George Samuel Elgood zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.868,00 (€ 4.334,18) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von George Samuel Elgood mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Roses And Pinks At Levens Hall, Kendal, Cumbria beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für GBP 9.600,00 (€ 14.245,92) versteigert wurde.
