Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work The illumination of the town of St Helier, on the evening of 2nd September 1846 by Philip John Ouless was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,937.48). Admittedly, works by Philip John Ouless have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work View taken from under South Hill, St Helier, Jersey in November 2010 with an auction result of GBP 57,650.00 (€ 68,891.66).

Als die Arbeit The illumination of the town of St Helier, on the evening of 2nd September 1846 von Philip John Ouless im November 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.937,48) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Philip John Ouless auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit View taken from under South Hill, St Helier, Jersey im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 57.650,00 (€ 68.891,66).
