Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian & Edwardian Art, which included the work The Fair Beauty And The Dark One by James Archer. The price achieved of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 42,019.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Archer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Betrothal of Robert Burns and Highland Mary, which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 74,090.00 (€ 108,169.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian & Edwardian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Fair Beauty And The Dark One von James Archer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.250,00 (€ 42.019,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von James Archer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Betrothal of Robert Burns and Highland Mary beobachtet, die im Februar 2003 für GBP 74.090,00 (€ 108.169,06) versteigert wurde.
