Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2008 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work The brig Triad of Sunderland in The Sound with Kronborg Castle off her port bow by Jacob Petersen of Copenhagen. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,590.05) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Admittedly, works by Jacob Petersen of Copenhagen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A group of Danish cutters including the Camilla racing to windward in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,369.93).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit The brig Triad of Sunderland in The Sound with Kronborg Castle off her port bow von Jacob Petersen of Copenhagen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.590,05) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jacob Petersen of Copenhagen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A group of Danish cutters including the Camilla racing to windward im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.369,93).
