A top price for Robert Adam - as previously expected
The work Elevation of an organ for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, Bt. by Robert Adam was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2015. The result of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 14,176.64) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Elevation of an organ for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, Bt. is the most expensive artwork by Robert Adam that we have observed at auctions so far.
