Sold at the lower estimate price
In February 2005 Christies in London held the auction THE SIR RALPH AND LADY HALPERN COLLECTION, which included the work The 'Mary Ray'; and 'Hurricane' by Calvert Richard Jones. The result of GBP 1,200.00 (€ 1,740.15) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Calvert Richard Jones achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boats, Naples, 1846 in May 2005 with an auction result of GBP 16,800.00 (€ 24,802.07).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Februar 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion THE SIR RALPH AND LADY HALPERN COLLECTION durch, in der auch die Arbeit The 'Mary Ray'; and 'Hurricane' von Calvert Richard Jones zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.200,00 (€ 1.740,15) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Calvert Richard Jones erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boats, Naples, 1846 im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.800,00 (€ 24.802,07).
