Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of Charles William de la Poer, 1st Baron Beresford (1846-1919), at his desk by Robert Ponsonby Staples for GBP 375.00 (€ 440.34). This price was achieved in the auction The Ross Collection From Knockmore, Enniskerry, Wicklow, Part II at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Ponsonby Staples achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work On the beach, Broadstairs, Kent in May 2002 with an auction result of GBP 21,510.00 (€ 33,684.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of Charles William de la Poer, 1st Baron Beresford (1846-1919), at his desk von Robert Ponsonby Staples für GBP 375,00 (€ 440,34) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Ross Collection From Knockmore, Enniskerry, Wicklow, Part II bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Ponsonby Staples erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit On the beach, Broadstairs, Kent im Mai 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 21.510,00 (€ 33.684,95).
