Auction result well in line with expectations

In September 2005 Christies in London held the auction PORTRAIT MINIATURES, OBJECTS OF VERTU AND SILVER, which included the work A gentleman in lilac-coloured coat with gold frogging and button, powdered bob wig (cracked) by Gervase Spencer. It changed hands for a price of GBP 576.00 (€ 845.32) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by Gervase Spencer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Young Boy, Circa 1750 in May 2020 with an auction result of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,632.01).
