Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Nathaniel Hone (1760-1819), In Red Coat With Gold Buttons, White Waistcoat And Frilled Cravat, Powdered Wig En Queue by Horace Hone was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 4,560.00 (€ 6,614.24). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Horace Hone - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Sir William Forbes, 6Th Bt. Of Pitsligo (1739-1806), which sold at auction in March 2017 for GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,916.33).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Nathaniel Hone (1760-1819), In Red Coat With Gold Buttons, White Waistcoat And Frilled Cravat, Powdered Wig En Queue von Horace Hone im Juli 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.560,00 (€ 6.614,24) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Horace Hone mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of Sir William Forbes, 6Th Bt. Of Pitsligo (1739-1806) beobachtet, die im März 2017 für GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.916,33) versteigert wurde.
