Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction British and European Art, which included the work A game of draughts by Margaret Murray Cookesley. The price achieved of GBP 1,280.00 (€ 1,483.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Margaret Murray Cookesley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Restful Moment by the Lion Fountain at the Alhambra, Spain in April 2007 with an auction result of USD 28,800.00 (€ 21,083.46).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A game of draughts von Margaret Murray Cookesley zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.280,00 (€ 1.483,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Margaret Murray Cookesley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Restful Moment by the Lion Fountain at the Alhambra, Spain im April 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 28.800,00 (€ 21.083,46).
