Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by James Sharples achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2009. In the American Furniture and Decorative Arts including English and Dutch Delft auction, the work Pair of Portraits of Colonel and Mrs. Richard Varick sold for USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,810.06) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Sharples achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington in January 2021 with an auction result of USD 325,000.00 (€ 267,820.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von James Sharples erzielte im Januar 2009 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Furniture and Decorative Arts including English and Dutch Delft wurde die Arbeit Pair of Portraits of Colonel and Mrs. Richard Varick für USD 10.000,00 (€ 7.810,06) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Sharples erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington im Januar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 325.000,00 (€ 267.820,35).
