Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Francis Johnston, seated bust-length, in a brown three-piece suit by Oswald Joseph Hornby Birley was sold in the BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES auction at Christies in London in September 2001. The price achieved of GBP 470.00 (€ 758.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Oswald Joseph Hornby Birley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Mark Birley (1930-2007), as a boy in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 36,659.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Francis Johnston, seated bust-length, in a brown three-piece suit von Oswald Joseph Hornby Birley wurde im September 2001 in der Auktion BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 470,00 (€ 758,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Oswald Joseph Hornby Birley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Mark Birley (1930-2007), as a boy im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 36.659,01).
