Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work A gentleman, facing right in fur-bordered blue coat, striped yellow waistcoat and tied cravat, powdered hair by Peter Mayr for GBP 352.50 (€ 560.94). This price was achieved in the auction Important Portrait Miniatures including works from the at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Mayr - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A young lady, full face in lace-bordered white dress, floral embroidered white stole draped over her right shoulder, coral necklace and earrings and gem-set gold ferronnière, her fair hair dressed in curls and plaited and a curl falling to her left, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 940.00 (€ 1,508.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A gentleman, facing right in fur-bordered blue coat, striped yellow waistcoat and tied cravat, powdered hair von Peter Mayr für GBP 352,50 (€ 560,94) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures including works from the bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Mayr mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A young lady, full face in lace-bordered white dress, floral embroidered white stole draped over her right shoulder, coral necklace and earrings and gem-set gold ferronnière, her fair hair dressed in curls and plaited and a curl falling to her left beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 940,00 (€ 1.508,35) versteigert wurde.
