Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Parliamentary "Grand National" by John Tenniel was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005. The price achieved of GBP 144.00 (€ 213.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100.00 – 200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Tenniel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ‘Nuts To Crack’ in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,310.27).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Parliamentary "Grand National" von John Tenniel kam im Juni 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 144,00 (€ 213,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100,00 – 200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Tenniel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ‘Nuts To Crack’ im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 31.310,27).
