Upper estimate price exceeded by 71 %.
In October this year Bonhams in London held the auction The Marine Sale, which included the work The New Brighton packet towing a distressed merchantman by Samuel Walters. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,120.00 (€ 5,879.18), 71% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Walters achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea in February 2004 with an auction result of USD 77,675.00 (€ 62,434.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 71 % übertroffen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Marine Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The New Brighton packet towing a distressed merchantman von Samuel Walters zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 5.120,00 (€ 5.879,18) und damit 71% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Walters erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea im Februar 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 77.675,00 (€ 62.434,69).
