Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Unknown by John Buncombe was sold in the Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in November 2009. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,625.00 (€ 1,778.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Buncombe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Silhouette Of Captain Jack Butcher, Paymaster Of The 67Th Regiment In Calcutta, which sold at auction in September 2021 for GBP 3,825.00 (€ 4,450.44).
