Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work House mouse, butterflies and damsel fly; Quail and butterflies; and Kingfisher by Mildred E. Eldridge was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,625.00 (€ 1,905.65). Admittedly, works by Mildred E. Eldridge have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hare, Drawn At Aberdaron, Gwynedd in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,440.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit House mouse, butterflies and damsel fly; Quail and butterflies; and Kingfisher von Mildred E. Eldridge im Juli 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.625,00 (€ 1.905,65) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mildred E. Eldridge auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Hare, Drawn At Aberdaron, Gwynedd im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.440,15).
