Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES, which included the work A young gentleman, in brown coat white waistcoat and lace cravat, powdered hair; together with a gentleman, in grey coat and white cravat, powdered wig (by Frederick Buck (1771 - c. 1839/40) by Horace Hone. It changed hands for a price of GBP 573.60 (€ 860.61) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Horace Hone achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Sir William Forbes, 6Th Bt. Of Pitsligo (1739-1806) in March 2017 with an auction result of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,916.33).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young gentleman, in brown coat white waistcoat and lace cravat, powdered hair; together with a gentleman, in grey coat and white cravat, powdered wig (by Frederick Buck (1771 - c. 1839/40) von Horace Hone zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 573,60 (€ 860,61) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Horace Hone erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Sir William Forbes, 6Th Bt. Of Pitsligo (1739-1806) im März 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.916,33).
