Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2010 a collector was able to acquire the work Views of Devon, Somerset and Monmouthshire including: Tiverton Church (illustrated); Dunster Castle; Bickleigh Court, Devon; and Budshead Barn by Rev. John Swete for GBP 500.00 (€ 597.50). This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of the Late John Appleby: A Channel Island Treasure House at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rev. John Swete achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Views of Devon and Somerset: Bathing-place at Ilfracomb [sic (illustrated); Shalldon sic; Oxton House from the Octagon; The ruins of Berry Pomeroy Castle; A bridge over a river in spate; Ilford Bridge; Linmouth; Pixton Place, the seat of Lady Ackl|AID681630] in November 2010 with an auction result of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,273
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2010 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Views of Devon, Somerset and Monmouthshire including: Tiverton Church (illustrated); Dunster Castle; Bickleigh Court, Devon; and Budshead Barn von Rev. John Swete für GBP 500,00 (€ 597,50) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Collection of the Late John Appleby: A Channel Island Treasure House bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rev. John Swete erzielen.
