Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES, which included the work A Naval officer, facing right in blue velvet coat with large gold buttons engraved with an anchor, white waistcoat, frilled and knotted cravat, powdered hair en queue by Nathaniel Plimer. The price achieved of GBP 717.00 (€ 1,075.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nathaniel Plimer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,607.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Naval officer, facing right in blue velvet coat with large gold buttons engraved with an anchor, white waistcoat, frilled and knotted cravat, powdered hair en queue von Nathaniel Plimer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 717,00 (€ 1.075,76) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Nathaniel Plimer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Unknown beobachtet, die im Juli 2010 für GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.607,16) versteigert wurde.
