Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
The work Costume design for Mrs. Cheveley's evening dress in An Ideal Husband by Rex Whistler was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in July 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,382.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rex Whistler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Lady Caroline Paget in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 78,293.42).
