Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), full face in blue cloak, brown coat, white waistcoat and knotted cravat, wearing the ribbon and badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece by Henry Pierce Bone was sold in the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU auction at Christies in London in November 2000. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,290.00 (€ 5,377.38). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Pierce Bone achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work John Charles Spencer, Viscount Althorp, 3rd Earl Spencer (1782-1845), as Chancellor of the Exchequer, full length in Chancellor's robes over black mourning suit, standing beside a George II giltwood console table from Spencer House draped with green in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 51,650.00 (€ 62,103.

Die Arbeit Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), full face in blue cloak, brown coat, white waistcoat and knotted cravat, wearing the ribbon and badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece von Henry Pierce Bone wurde im November 2000 in der Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.290,00 (€ 5.377,38) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Pierce Bone erzielen.
