Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Vigilant; and Valkyrie II by Henry C. Peabody was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2005. It achieved a price of USD 1,440.00 (€ 1,084.83), 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 Henry C. Peabody - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jubilee; Merlin; and Constellation, which sold at auction in February 2005 for USD 3,120.00 (€ 2,350.46).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Vigilant; and Valkyrie II von Henry C. Peabody kam im Februar 2005 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion.
