Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Tsar Alexander I of Russia (1777-1825), in black uniform with red collar, gold epaulettes, wearing the blue moiré sash and breast-star of the the Imperial Russian Order of St. Andrew by Domenico Bossi was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,401.55), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Domenico Bossi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Duke Adam of Württemberg (1792-1847), In Red Coat With Gold-Embroidered Red Facings, Gold Tassels And Buttons, Fur Collar And Dark Cravat, Wearing The Breast-Star of The Royal Württemberg Order of The Golden Eagle, which sold at auction in July 2005 for GBP 19,200.00 (€ 27,849.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Tsar Alexander I of Russia (1777-1825), in black uniform with red collar, gold epaulettes, wearing the blue moiré sash and breast-star of the the Imperial Russian Order of St. Andrew von Domenico Bossi kam im November 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.401,55) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Für andere Arbeiten von Domenico Bossi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Duke Adam of Württemberg (1792-1847), In Red Coat With Gold-Embroidered Red Facings, Gold Tassels And Buttons, Fur Collar And Dark Cravat, Wearing The Breast-Star of The Royal Württemberg Order of The Golden Eagle beobachtet, die im Juli 2005 für GBP 19.200,00 (€ 27.849,42) versteigert wurde.
