In January 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver and Prints, which included the work Corsica, Birthplace of Napoleon by Thomas Chambers. The »bidding war« ended at USD 14,400.00 (€ 11,035.33), 44% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Chambers - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tarrytown, New York, which sold at auction in January 2020 for USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,551.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 44 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver and Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Corsica, Birthplace of Napoleon von Thomas Chambers zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 14.400,00 (€ 11.035,33) und damit 44% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Chambers mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tarrytown, New York beobachtet, die im Januar 2020 für USD 35.000,00 (€ 31.551,43) versteigert wurde.
