Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by Henry Pierce Bone was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2006. The price achieved of GBP 1,200.00 (€ 1,719.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. 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.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Unknown von Henry Pierce Bone kam im März 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.200,00 (€ 1.719,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Pierce Bone erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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 (€ 62.103,31).
