Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The three-master Hermione under full sail in the Channel by Harold Percival was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 352.50 (€ 506.02). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harold Percival - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Emigrant Ships Invercargill Of Glasgow; And Samuel Plimsoll Of Aberdeen, which sold at auction in November 2001 for GBP 822.50 (€ 1,308.86).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The three-master Hermione under full sail in the Channel von Harold Percival im November 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 352,50 (€ 506,02) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Harold Percival mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Emigrant Ships Invercargill Of Glasgow; And Samuel Plimsoll Of Aberdeen beobachtet, die im November 2001 für GBP 822,50 (€ 1.308,86) versteigert wurde.
