Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In September 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction Powderham Castle & Seaton Delaval Hall, which included the work Sir William Courtenay'S Sloop-Rigged Yacht, The Neptune, Raising Sail, Other Shipping Beyond by Samuel Scott. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 91,250.00 (€ 99,819.89). Admittedly, works by Samuel Scott have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Shipping At Anchor In The Thames Estuary, Near Wapping in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 473,000.00 (€ 562,026.33).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im September 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Powderham Castle & Seaton Delaval Hall durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sir William Courtenay'S Sloop-Rigged Yacht, The Neptune, Raising Sail, Other Shipping Beyond von Samuel Scott zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 91.250,00 (€ 99.819,89) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Samuel Scott auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Shipping At Anchor In The Thames Estuary, Near Wapping im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 473.000,00 (€ 562.026,33).
