Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.

In December 2001 Christies in London held the auction OBJECTS OF VERTU AND MINIATURES, which included the work A gentleman believed to be James Wilton, facing right in a double-breasted coat, curly hair by Samuel Andrews. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 376.00 (€ 614.33), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Andrews achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Unknown in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 6,637.88).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen

Im Dezember 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion OBJECTS OF VERTU AND MINIATURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit A gentleman believed to be James Wilton, facing right in a double-breasted coat, curly hair von Samuel Andrews zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 376,00 (€ 614,33) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Andrews erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Unknown im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 6.637,88).
