Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.

This artwork by Samuel Henry Alken achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in August 2011. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work The York mail coach sold for GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,258.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Henry Alken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 118,750.00 (€ 105,687.08).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Samuel Henry Alken erzielte im August 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit The York mail coach für GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.258,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Henry Alken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 118.750,00 (€ 105.687,08).
