Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Peter Paillou achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2002. In the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU auction, the work A young gentleman, facing right in blue coat with gold buttons, yellow waistcoat and checked white waistcoat, tied cravat sold for GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,678.47) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Peter Paillou; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A Cockerel sold at auction in July 2011 with the realized price of GBP 6,500.00 (€ 7,459.72).
