Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Lord Byron, facing left holding his red velvet cloak draped over his shoulders in his right hand, gold and white coat, white shirt by Henry Pierce Bone was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 9,560.00 (€ 14,971.09). Admittedly, works by Henry Pierce Bone have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 (€ 62,103.3
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Lord Byron, facing left holding his red velvet cloak draped over his shoulders in his right hand, gold and white coat, white shirt von Henry Pierce Bone im Mai 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.560,00 (€ 14.971,09) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henry Pierce Bone auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 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 im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 51.650,00
