Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Mont Orgueil Castle on the Island of Jersey by John Thomas Serres was worth GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,456.24) to a buyer in November 2010. This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of the Late John Appleby: A Channel Island Treasure House at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Thomas Serres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shipping off Lisbon, a seventy-four Third Rate passing two small craft as she heads out of the Tagus into a squall, with an anchored British frigate off her port beam and the Belém Tower receding astern in February 2005 with an auction result of GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,810.76).
