Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Four-Master County Of Edinburgh At Sea by Lai Fong of Calcutta was sold in the MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES) auction at Christies in London in November 2004. The price achieved of GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,578.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lai Fong of Calcutta - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Iron Wool Clipper Loch Tay At Sea, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 5,736.00 (€ 8,251.21).
