Auction result well in line with expectations

In October last year Bonhams in London held the auction The Marine Sale, which included the work A peacetime fleet at anchor by John Cleveley the Elder. The price achieved of GBP 2,295.00 (€ 2,673.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Cleveley the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work King George Iii Reviewing The Fleet At Spithead, Off Portsmouth Harbour in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 290,500.00 (€ 373,969.84).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Marine Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A peacetime fleet at anchor von John Cleveley the Elder zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.295,00 (€ 2.673,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Cleveley the Elder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit King George Iii Reviewing The Fleet At Spithead, Off Portsmouth Harbour im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 290.500,00 (€ 373.969,84).
