Auction result well in line with expectations

In November 2004 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Design For A Chimney-Piece by Robert Adam. The price achieved of GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,578.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Admittedly, works by Robert Adam have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Elevation of an organ for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, Bt. in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 14,176.64).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Design For A Chimney-Piece von Robert Adam zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.792,50 (€ 2.578,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Adam auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Elevation of an organ for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, Bt. im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 14.176,64).
