Sold at the lower estimate price
The work View of London from the steeple of St Bride's Church, Fleet Street, looking east towards St Paul's Cathedral by Thomas Allom was sold in the Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours including a Fine Collection of Old Master Prints auction at Christies in London in July 2021. The result of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,690.83) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Allom achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sack of Corinth in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 51,650.00 (€ 64,353.63).
