Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2003 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES, which included the work William III, Prince of Orange (1650-1702), facing left in gold-bordered and gilt-studded armour, lace cravat, full bottomed wig, wearing the blue moiré sash of the Order of the Garter by Pierre Huaud II. The price achieved of GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,575.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pierre Huaud II - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,297.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit William III, Prince of Orange (1650-1702), facing left in gold-bordered and gilt-studded armour, lace cravat, full bottomed wig, wearing the blue moiré sash of the Order of the Garter von Pierre Huaud II zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.792,50 (€ 2.575,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Pierre Huaud II 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 Juni 2011 für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.297,36) versteigert wurde.
