Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work Flying Childers with a jockey by James Seymour. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,030.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Seymour achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lord Portmore's 'Snap', a saddled chestnut hunter held by a groom, with a setter in a landscape in July 2021 with an auction result of GBP 275,000.00 (€ 322,494.52).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flying Childers with a jockey von James Seymour zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 28.030,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Seymour erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lord Portmore's 'Snap', a saddled chestnut hunter held by a groom, with a setter in a landscape im Juli 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 275.000,00 (€ 322.494,52).
