Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Three studies: Robin with primroses; Wren with primroses; and Bank vole and wood mouse with violets by Mildred E. Eldridge for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,198.83). This price was achieved in the auction British and European Art at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mildred E. Eldridge - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hare, Drawn At Aberdaron, Gwynedd, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,440.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Three studies: Robin with primroses; Wren with primroses; and Bank vole and wood mouse with violets von Mildred E. Eldridge für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.198,83) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and European Art bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mildred E. Eldridge mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hare, Drawn At Aberdaron, Gwynedd beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.440,15) versteigert wurde.
