Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Old Abbot's Bridge, Bury St. Edmunds, with a shepherd and his flock resting in the shade by John Berney Crome was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,022.69). Admittedly, works by John Berney Crome have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Thames at Northfleet in November 2008 with an auction result of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 14,357.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Old Abbot's Bridge, Bury St. Edmunds, with a shepherd and his flock resting in the shade von John Berney Crome im November 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.022,69) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Berney Crome auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Thames at Northfleet im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 14.357,77).
