Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The End Of A Glorious Era - The Last Squadron Of The Royal Navy Under Sail, 1899: The Corvettes H.M.S. Champion, H.M.S. Cleopatra, H.M.S. Volage And The Frigate H.M.S. Raleigh by Harold Wyllie was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2014. The price achieved of GBP 875.00 (€ 1,093.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harold Wyllie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Panorama of Portsmouth Harbour With A Battleship Getting-Up Steam And Preparing To Leave The Quayside, which sold at auction in May 2006 for GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,627.41).

Für andere Arbeiten von Harold Wyllie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Panorama of Portsmouth Harbour With A Battleship Getting-Up Steam And Preparing To Leave The Quayside beobachtet, die im Mai 2006 für GBP 1.800,00 (€ 2.627,41) versteigert wurde.
