Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The locket by William Quiller Orchardson was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007. The price achieved of GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,531.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Quiller Orchardson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'The Queen of the Swords' A dozen cutlasses, selected hastily from an old arm-chest, and whose rusted hue bespoke how seldom they left the sheath, armed the same number of young Zetlanders, with whom mingled six maidens, led by Minna Troil; and the in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 83,650.00
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The locket von William Quiller Orchardson kam im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.531,76) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Quiller Orchardson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'The Queen of the Swords' A dozen cutlasses, selected hastily from an old arm-chest, and whose rusted hue bespoke how seldom they left the sheath, armed the same number of young Zetlanders, with whom mingled six maidens, led by Minna Troil; and the im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 83.650,00 (€ 122.126,36).
