Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Giles Hussey achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in January 2009. In the The Roger Warner Collection - Part I auction, the work Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788) 'The Young Pretender', small half-length, in profile to sinister, in armour and a sash, in a feigned oval sold for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,095.58) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giles Hussey achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788), bust-length, looking to the left, in armour in October 2002 with an auction result of GBP 22,705.00 (€ 35,915.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Giles Hussey erzielte im Januar 2009 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Roger Warner Collection - Part I wurde die Arbeit Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788) 'The Young Pretender', small half-length, in profile to sinister, in armour and a sash, in a feigned oval für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.095,58) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giles Hussey erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788), bust-length, looking to the left, in armour im Oktober 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.705,00 (€ 35.915,31).
