Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Nugent Fitch could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The House Sale auction, the work Orchid Album, Comprising Colored Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare and Beautiful Orchidaceous Plants: Eight Plates changed hands for USD 2,031.50 (€ 1,891.70) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Nugent Fitch - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Orchid Album: Eight Plates, which sold at auction in February 2002 for USD 5,640.00 (€ 6,514.21).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

In der Auktion The House Sale wechselte die Arbeit Orchid Album, Comprising Colored Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare and Beautiful Orchidaceous Plants: Eight Plates für USD 2.031,50 (€ 1.891,70) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Nugent Fitch mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Orchid Album: Eight Plates beobachtet, die im Februar 2002 für USD 5.640,00 (€ 6.514,21) versteigert wurde.
