Sold at the lower estimate price

The work The Custom House from City Quay, Dublin by Samuel Frederick Brocas was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2017. The result of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,158.46) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Frederick Brocas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The General Post Office and Nelson's Pillar, Sackville Street, with the Dublin Lying-in Hospital beyond, which sold at auction in July 2017 for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,316.93).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit The Custom House from City Quay, Dublin von Samuel Frederick Brocas wurde im Juli 2017 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.158,46) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel Frederick Brocas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The General Post Office and Nelson's Pillar, Sackville Street, with the Dublin Lying-in Hospital beyond beobachtet, die im Juli 2017 für GBP 20.000,00 (€ 22.316,93) versteigert wurde.
