John Adam Plimmer Houston, RSA RI (British, 1812-1884)
Border warfare – the peel defended
indistinctly inscribed and signed to label (verso)
oil on canvas
55.9 x 106.7 cm. (22 x 42 in.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 77 %.

This artwork by John Adam Houston achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Edinburgh in May last year. In the Scottish Art auction, the work Border warfare – the peel defended sold for GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,749.79) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Adam Houston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sheikh in June 2020 with an auction result of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 75,716.21).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Adam Houston erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Edinburgh einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Scottish Art wurde die Arbeit Border warfare – the peel defended für GBP 3.187,50 (€ 3.749,79) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Adam Houston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sheikh im Juni 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 68.750,00 (€ 75.716,21).
