Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of Sir Geoffrey Ellis, Bt., seated half-length, in a black suit, at his desk by Oswald Joseph Hornby Birley for GBP 282.00 (€ 284.05). This price was achieved in the auction British and Victorian Pictures at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00 set by the auction house. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Geoffrey Ellis, Bt., seated half-length, in a black suit, at his desk von Oswald Joseph Hornby Birley für GBP 282,00 (€ 284,05) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and Victorian Pictures bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. 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).
