Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2017 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work The warmth of the fire by Thomas Benjamin Kennington. It changed hands for a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,566.53) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Benjamin Kennington achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Wedding Dress in May 2011 with an auction result of GBP 85,250.00 (€ 97,483.64).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The warmth of the fire von Thomas Benjamin Kennington zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.566,53) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Benjamin Kennington erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Wedding Dress im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 85.250,00 (€ 97.483,64).
