Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2006 Christies in London held the auction Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Silver and Plate and Icons, which included the work Unknown by John Miers. The price achieved of GBP 360.00 (€ 531.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 400.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Miers - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two Regency Portrait Silhouettes, which sold at auction in December 2003 for AUD 1,997.50 (€ 1,192.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Silver and Plate and Icons durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unknown von John Miers zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 360,00 (€ 531,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 400,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Miers mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two Regency Portrait Silhouettes beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für AUD 1.997,50 (€ 1.192,44) versteigert wurde.
